Summary
Everyone is scrambling over dropping birth rates, from Elon Musk to DC lawmakers offering $5,000 "baby bonuses." But throwing cash at people won't make them want a family when they've been taught their whole lives that children are a burden. In this episode, I break down the global data on financial incentives, share what I'm hearing directly from young women on college campuses, and explain the real fix to the population crisis that economists keep missing. A government cannot bribe a civilization back to life. Watch now to see what actually works.
