Episode: A $5,000 Baby Bonus, Birth Rates, and...the Manosphere?
Description: Can you pay people to have kids? On one hand, countries that have beefed up social safety nets and pay people to procreate often see short-term success. But long-term results have been remarkably consistent worldwide: It’s very hard to pay people to have children.
