Mongolia still battles low fertility rates | GlobalPost: "NEW YORK — In Mongolia, people are so scarce that the government has been paying them to procreate.
In a manner of speaking, that is.
Mongolia is one of the largest and most sparsely populated countries on the planet. It's almost as large as Alaska, and yet only has 3 million people (the population of Chicago).
On top of the fact that there aren't tons of people, the people that are there don't have as many kids as they used to.
Insufficient fertility rates have, for some time, prompted the state to offer serious incentives for having children."
