The truth is that the root of the problem lies in the shitty communist system, not in any incentives they can invent. When you live in a country where the state controls everything, squeezes people with absurd taxes, crushes private enterprise, and destroys the hope of progress... who wants to have children in that environment?

The same thing happens in Cuba: a government-dependent mentality, combined with structural poverty, causes the birth rate to plummet. Why have children if you have no way to feed them or no prospects for the future?

And on top of that, instead of fixing the essentials (freedoms, a healthy economy, solid money), they come up with authoritarian and ridiculous measures like cutting off the internet at night or giving pregnant women extra points on exams. These are ideological patch-ups, not real solutions.
