Experts have for many decades explained the importance of
s3x, some have even said it has the ability to prevent people from going mad
from frustration, it diminishes stress and makes you sleep better. Above all,
it is also an important factor in keeping the human race from extinction.
Report has that nations of the world need fertility rate of
only two kids per woman to reach what demographers call ‘replacement fertility’
– the rate at which births fill the gaps left by deaths.
Analysts have come out lists of countries that do not meet
that rate, and also the various method being employed by their government to
encourage their citizens to have more productive s3x.
Find below a list of ten (10) countries begging their citizens with
some kind of incentives in order to increase their working population:
Denmark:
The Danes have such a low fertility rate (around 1.73
children per woman) that a national travel company has come up with a series of
bribes to get women to have more kids.
First, Spies Rejser offered to provide three years’ worth of
baby supplies to couples who conceived on a holiday booked through the company.
And now it’s come up with a campaign called ‘Do it for Mom‘ – a video which
guilt trips couples into having kids so that their mums don’t miss out on
having grandkids.
Russia:
According to Tech Insider, Russia is experiencing a
shitstorm of anti-baby factors. HIV and alcoholism are widespread, women aren’t
having kids and men are dying young.
It all got so bad that in 2007, the government declared 12
September the official Day of Conception – where people get the day off for
making babies.
Women who give birth exactly nine months later – on 12 June,
win a fridge (?!?!?).
Japan:
We know that Japan is experiencing something of a dry spell.
A 2011 survey found that 61% of unmarried men and 49% of women aged 18-34
weren’t in any kind of romantic relationship.
To try and get their young people creating families,
scientists came up with Yotaro – a robot baby designed to give people a preview
of parenthood. Students at the University of Tsukuba theorised that if young
people could see themselves as potential mothers and fathers, they’d be more
emotionally ready to settle down.
Romania:
During communist times, if you weren’t providing future
state labourers by having kids, you had to pay instead. There was a 20% income
tax for childless couples, and in the 1980s, women were forced to take
gynaecological exams to ensure that all pregnancies went to term.
Today, the fertility rate is still rock bottom.
Singapore:
Singapore has the lowest fertility rate in the world, with
just 0.81 children per woman.
To deal with the crisis, the government came up with
National Night – an event sponsored by the mint company Mentos to encourage
couples to ‘let their patriotism explode’.
They’ve also placed a limit on the number of small one beds
available to rent to encourage cohabitation, and the government reportedly
spends around $1.6 billion on various programmes to get people to have more
s3x.
In fact, the government offers cash to people who have more
than one child. Parents receive a ‘baby bonus’ of around $4,400 (£2,545) for
their first two kids and $5,900 (£3,413) for their third and fourth.
South Korea:
Offices turn off their lights at 7 pm on the third Wednesday
of every month – AKA Family Day. Workers are encouraged to get themselves home
so that they can enjoy some lights-out action.
India:
While the general population of India is thriving, their
Parsis community is slowly dwindling. And that’s lead to a number of questionable
ads encouraging people to ‘Be responsible – don’t use a condom tonight’.
Other campaigns have shamed men living at home with lines
like ‘Isn’t it time you broke up with your mum?’
Brutal but effective – there were just 61,000 Parsis living
in the country in 2001, and at the last census, there were 69,000.
Italy:
You wouldn’t think somewhere as passionate as Italy would
have a sex drought, but their fertility rate is below the European average.
So, the Italy has started running campaigns to remind
Italians that time stands still for no (wo)man.
Lines include: ‘Beauty knows no age, fertility does,’ and
‘Get going! Don’t wait for the stork’.
Hong Kong:
Inspired by Singapour, Hong Kong started giving out cash to
couples to try and encourage them to have kids.
Alas, the plan never quite took off.
Spain:
As employment rates are rising, fertility rates are
dropping. Half of young people are out of work. And to combat the trend, the
Spanish government have hired a special commissioner to try and reverse them.
