Comment on The rich are having more children -- an important change in demography

Comments

In Australia you get $4000 for having a child. No questions asked : produce baby, get cash. This has done wonders for the birth rate. It's actually a response to the problem of the baby boomers : they know they need more workers to pay taxes to look after them, and encouraging babies now will pay off in 20 years time when baby boomers are retiring in record numbers.
