    Sounds like a capitalism problem. How many blokes make enough to own a home on single income on there own? Then add wife + kid.

      Nope, where I live state literally pays you monthly for every kid you have until they’re 18 along with apartment subsidies and shit. Population growth is still negative and worse than ever.

      Capitalism issue is maybe relevant for 20-30% bottom earners. But thing is noone is having children these days.

        Is it a significant amount for your region? Like i know SK add an extra 200-300$ dollars per month but that wont cover daycare in certain countries. Thankfully my great grandmother babysat but she took payment…course I grew up in multigenerational home which is still very full. Which is why I blame capitalism. If only the housing market didnt triple in 2020! I know lots of ppl holding out for market crash so they can have a home and kids.

          It’s around same 200-300$ monthly but it’s more if you factor in lower cost of living in Poland vs western EU or USA. There are also subsidies for mortgages guaranteeing flat 2% interest over first 10 years (state covers the rest)

          All these policies have one common denominator: They don’t work. Poland has one of the worst negative population growth numbers in the whole EU
