The solution is pretty simple for the society. Either have three kids or you work till you are 70.

The society first has to provide for its citizens instead of giving socialism to billionaires instead of a proper social safety net, or they won't want to or can't have kids.

Most people would say Denmark has a proper social safety net. People aren't having kids because they don't want kids. And no amount of parental leave or childcare subsidies flips the switch when flights to *popular tourist destination* are a couple hundred euro.

This.Not even cash handouts have increased TFRs across Europe and East Asia.

I think the solution might be in taxes. No kid;you are taxed at 60% , one kid 50% two kids 40 % and three kids 30 % . 20 % for anyone with more than four kids.

VAT on people with kids 12.5 %

you are being disengenous. you know that nordic taxes are quite high.
