To think women with 3+ kids should pay less taxes

All parties will have to deal with the increasing number of old people and low fertility rate. They use this fact to justify big numbers of net migration. I was wondering if we as a country should actively provide economical benefits for women to have more than one child? In some countries like Singapore there are a lot of economic incentives to have more than 2 kids. I have 3 kids myself and I don't know anyone in my friendship group who would have more than 2. In fact, most don't want to have even one child citing economical reasons.

AIBU?

That doesn't make sense though, as the more children you have the more publicly funded services that will be used.

Falling birth rates are better addressed by a wider spread of children.

Also, population growth needs to slow down. It's going to cause problems and hardship while a new equilibrium is reached, but the human population cannot continue rising the rate it is.

Why penalise those who don't have children? Don't they get penalised enough?

As if those that are unable to conceive need to be punished further.

No, they are using up more services so don’t deserve a tax break. There are enough people in the world and we have enough immigration to deal with a falling birth rate.

The more children you have will create more future tax payers.

The more children you have, the more public services you're using.

I think it would make more sense to have the state provide free and excellent childcare for all.

Your policy favours the wealthy.
