President Trump is making heads turn in more ways than one this time around after sharing his fears for America’s declining birthrate.
The American head of state mentioned how he’s keenly interested in rolling out a Baby Bonus program worth $5000 for every new child’s mom. But it does not stop there.
He also wants to roll out menstrual classes to improve the chances of getting pregnant, as per the report.Birthrates have continued to decline for a while now since the year 1960, from 3.65 births per woman to 1.66 births per woman every day.
Other than raising the country’s birthrate, he also wants to improve access to in-vitro fertilization, which is expected to be a part of Trump’s cultural agenda, as per the New York Times, which shared more proposal details sought by the administration.
Other possibilities include the 30% Fulbright fellowship for those married or having kids, and educating women on their menstrual cycles and natural means of fertility.
As shared by the New York Times, policy experts and advocates revealed more about boosting the birthrate, and they’ve been meeting up with aides from the White House and even handing in more proposals to better convince women to have more babies.
