New govt of Japan is offering a financial package to encourage families to go for babies. US$ 300 per baby. Would this reverse the population trend? Now Japan has three adults supporting one old person. By 2050, it would be 1.6 adults supporting one old person. Japan has avoided opening up the country for immigrants lest they would dilute their cultural purity. Now they realize they have two generations to balance the equation. I did think of the possibility of India Govt financially rewarding those who help in arrest of India's population growth. Rs 20K tax subsidy every couple who is childless and Rs 10K for those who just have one kid. They could add Tax surcharge for those who have more than one child. These surcharges could be on all necessities like gas, electricity, ration, bank loan and could be applicable for every sector - organized, unorganized, agricultural or service. Such thought often idealist is not easy to implement. Perhaps, ID card project would take one-step
