What if the government ran a weekly lottery where only people who have a baby and/or raise a child are eligible? You’d be automatically entered every week for free.

For each baby you have or raise, you’d get one lifetime ticket. So, for example, a couple who has three babies, puts one up for adoption, and raises two would end up with 3 + 2 = 5 tickets in the weekly lottery for life.

Do you think this idea would be effective in combating the population decline problem that many countries face?
