Frankreich: Kürzung des Kindergeldes reduziert Geburtenrate und verlängert Arbeitszeit

Seeing a lot of „Real Reasons“ about birthrates that are implying we shouldn’t use case incentives or make life easier for people to start families.

Well there are a lot of natural experiments about what would happen if you reduce benefits/means test them/ etc

And well, it turns out that cutting or means testing ends up reducing birth rates and make people work longer hours

Considering the future needs people to work, and considering a lot of futurists are concerned about birth rates but are arguing against increasing benefits

Well something isn’t adding up, don’t you think?
