Pronatalism Initiative

The IFS Pronatalism Initiative is based on a simple idea: falling birth rates are a big social problem. Governments around the world are grappling for urgent solutions to a rapid decline in fertility. 

Through this initiative, we aim to pioneer new research to create a suite of policies to counteract global fertility decline.
