I'm sure all the Muslim immigrants will cheerfully take advantage of her program and have more children. On the other hand I doubt it will have much effect on native German birthrates. The modern Euro is far too narcissistic to want to go to the trouble of having and raising families.
Increasing the tax burden on future generations by providing a subsidy now WILL NOT WORK. Why is it always a govt program or subsidy with these people, these idiotic socialists?
Perhaps they can subsidize razors for some of those East German women...
It might provide the same desired effect at a much lower cost.
Just stop taxing people to death.
I'm going for 3 and I've had one so far.
However, my best friend's father had 11 children, and 9 of them were boys. Now that is a man.
The baby-bonus has worked a treat in boosting the birth-rate in Australia.
May have something to do with starting two world wars and being a Socialist ninny afterwards.
OMG! I didn't get to that part before I had started laughing! Germany is insane! I wouldn't even bother working to support this. I'd just quit and leave...
This is the country that just arrested a mother of 12 because the family was homeschooling. Who's going to birth children to be wards of the state? Nobody with sense ...
Nertz to 'em.
If industrialized nations want to increase their birthrate, the best example for them to use is the post-WWII Levittown scenario. It actually takes a lot of special planning to make a baby boom, and the US stumbled upon it by accident.
First, build or rebuild a city intended and planned solely for young married couples and small children. People beyond child bearing years, singles who want to play the field, and others who are "out of the game", are not invited to live there. If they can't have kids, they get transferred out of town. It should be clean and well landscaped.
Second, make moderately paying, but very boring jobs available for men only. Job promotion is secretly based on number of children. Women as homemakers are put in intentionally boring circumstances, with some modest home-based businesses available. Very few adult oriented entertainments in the city.
Third, design medium-large homes in clusters, with small private backyards, and a large common backyard for each 6-8 houses. Limit travel out of town.
Fourth, bring in religious leaders who emphasize having children at their services. With plenty of OB/GYN services, have little or no birth control and only medical emergency abortion.
Prior service military personnel are good to recruit from, as they have already had considerable physical and psychological screening. Women who come from large families and otherwise express an interest in having more than the usual number of children are also good candidates.
Behind the scenes, it is actually a very authoritarian place, but that is not obvious to those who live there. But the real purpose of the place is to propel a baby boom; anything else, any other prerogatives, governmental or individual, have to be secondary.
