Something like that sounds like a forceful, desperate stop-gap measure to prevent an aging state and gap in the workforce by the time the majority of its inhabitants are of retirement age.

Reminds me more of the natalist policies of Germany under the NSDAP, '33 and onward. While this was to replace those who had died in WWI and also to fill out Europe under the idea of Lebensraum, the parallels are... unparalleled?

What they *dont* count on is the ease of couples saying, 'gently caress you, Mr State, I'm moving to Disneyland'
