France is set to send letters toa ll 29-year-old citizens, as a reminder to ‘have a baby while you can.’
The move is part of the government’s 16-point plan to increase fertility rates. The letter will be sent to men and women and will remind them that fertility is a shared responsibility between both sexes.
So, should the Irish government follow suit? Are we doing enough to incentivise having children here?
