Pronatalist policy

Pronatalist policy refers to government policy intended to incentivize and encourage people to have more children than they otherwise would. There are many broad categories of pronatalist policy:

Pronatalist propaganda: Propaganda that directly tells people to have children.
Child care policy: This includes policies designed to provide tax breaks, stipends, or specific resources (such as day care centers) to ease parents' burden of having children. Also in this category are policies that incentivize employers to support families with kids.
Marriage promotion policy: This includes policies designed to promote marriage, based on the theory that the more and earlier people marry, the more children they can have. Marriage promotion policies range from tax breaks to married couples to government-sponsored or government-subsidized dating agencies.
Fertility support policy: This includes policies designed to help families conceive children (such as subsidies for infertility treatment or investment in research on increasing fertility, facilitation of sperm and egg donors), restrictions on availability of contraception or abortion, and subsidies to the costs of pregnancy, subsidies for the cost of delivering babies, and prenatal and neonatal care.
