Is There Any Practical Way to Increase the Birthrate?

Most countries’ birthrates are now below that needed to replace the current populations. Mostly we consider this a good thing. Put that aside for a moment. Many things have been tried to encourage women to have more children. These include cash incentives, free or low-cost child care and so on. None of these ideas have worked. Can you imagine any practical way to increase birthrates in a population? I cannot.

It’s mostly about how to increase the birth rate, but there’s also been discussion about the desirability of that goal.
