In Germany you get 250€ every month per child until they are 18. Even after, if they remain in education. If they move out they can get it directly for themselves.
Same in the Netherlands and it’s absolutely crazy. We already have too many humans, why stimulate procreation when we don’t even have enough housing for the humans that already exist.
Are you sure that’s even what is happening? It seems there would be a line where you could ease the burden of childbirth, especially for women, by supporting them and making it more likely that child becomes a healthy educated adult, but not so much reimbursement that you actually stimulate fertility rates. I would think that the government has data on this.

It’s called Kindergeld “children money”

It’s not stimulating it’s making it barely affordable to have children.
Relax the planet is not over populated. Projections already show it might go down soon. Which is fine as well I guess.
