pro-natalist policies

Pro-natalist policies are initiatives or measures implemented by governments to encourage higher birth rates. These policies might include financial incentives, such as cash bonuses for families with children, subsidized childcare, parental leave, and tax breaks. The goal is to counteract declining population growth or aging demographics, which can lead to economic challenges and labor shortages. By supporting families and reducing the costs associated with raising children, pro-natalist policies aim to create a more favorable environment for childbearing and boost overall population numbers.
