By taking time out of my lucrative endeavors to do uncompensated child care labor???
Let’s see:
We have 3.6 million births per year
We need about a million more a year to go from 1.66 to 2.1 TFR
So we’d be paying 4.6 million x 300k = 1.38 trillion
Essentially the same as what Social Security costs
Take control of your child’s education! Our online program gives parents the flexibility to decide the courses for their students & implement a schedule that works best for them. Enroll today! 
Are there any measures of how much economic value your average American contributes throughout their lifetime?
Seems like a great place to start the conversation.
How about for every kid, 25% reduction in income tax, for life. 4+ kids = 0 income tax.
seems like these policies haven’t really worked too well as a whole though (e.g., Scandinavia)
I'm supportive of more parental benefits, but framing this as compensating labor is probably not politically wise (even if true!)
Finally, you have endorsed the true solution to the fertility problem. Compensating parents accordingly for their contributions to society!
People aren't having kids because of opportunity costs associated with raising kids. There is just so much one can do with their free time childrearing takes away. On the flip side modern parenting is just getting more and more demanding. These two trends are crushing TFR.
For mothers, not fathers.
Let's make aingle.motherhood more prevalent and easier, because their offspring aren't the most criminal, drug addicted cohort in the nation.

ever since I learned the American Medical Association actively fought for and won a restriction on the supply of doctors because they said we’d have a “surplus” I’ve become instinctively suspicious of all doctor guilds
congratulations to all the outraged leftists who successfully protected the right of anasthesiologists to keep medical costs high and prevent the Medicare cost model from expanding
and congrats to the anasthesiologist society PR for securing a reversal by tapping populist rage

Doctors have such unbelievable PR that this headline is universally interpreted in the comments as “your insurance company will force you to feel pain if your surgery goes long” and not “anesthesiologists will be paid a fixed rate per surgery from now on and they’re mad about it”

Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut, New York and Missouri has declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries.
It the procedure goes over a certain time, anesthesia will not be covered for the duration.

Anesthesiologist providers very often have been found participating in surprise billing, and this change attempts to close this loophole. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…
