🍼 Just 4% of adults on the fence about parenthood say a $5,000 incentive would sway them, per a new BabyCenter poll shared with Axios.
WHY IT MATTERS: The Trump administration has reportedly discussed a $5,000 “baby bonus” to boost birth rates — but that amount doesn’t stretch much beyond Day 1 of a newborn’s life, @thatgirlcarly reports.
BY THE NUMBERS: 9% of respondents said it would take at least $10,000 to convince them to have kids, and 30% said it would take more than $25,000 — of the nearly 700 votes cast in a BabyCenter poll.
