The idea being that if workers actually receive financial security and aren't overworked, they'll pursue romance more. And with the added incentive of the state rewarding you for having babies.
Well, there are some people who just never will date regardless of their time or place in history. A minority of the population just won't reproduce or are losers. Only because of technology that situation is somewhat more common than in the old days- where any misfits would die or be hermits. Someone like me has no game and no desire to deal with the games women play and etc. that're conductive to cheating or to face rejection, shaming, and etc. Romance isn't for me.
Short of arranged marriage, chances are I can't or won't be having children. A government should forget about trying to get everyone to have children and only incentivize the people who are able to breed or are competitive enough to be in the mating game/market or whatever.
The nature of a woman on some level, is to be hypergamous. Of course they're going to ditch a guy if they're able to get a better one later on. Men are just as disloyal but in different ways. I can't deal with such a complicated world so far as people's behaviors and motives, etc. So I just don't like most other people in general. I'm unable to trust or make myself vulnerable in any way.
