Sergei Morozov, governor of the Ulyanovsk region in Russia, is telling couples to go home and get it on. Even better--he's offering prizes to families who pop one out nine months from now (on June 12, Russia's national day), ranging from SUVs to actual money for multiple children.
"Demographers estimate that Russia could lose 40 million people - almost a third of its current population - by the middle of the century.
A combination of falling birth rates, emigration and an ailing healthcare system has led to the decline."
Admittedly, the idea of a national sex day is intriguing...but I am nonetheless grossed out by intentional population booms...and even worse, incentivizing the creation of human beings with money.
I am much more in favor of a national adoption day in Russia.
