Lots of people just don't want to have children that much. It doesn't matter what incentives they are given. They'd rather hang out with their friends until old age.

Lots of people don't consider their opposite-sex equal to be attractive enough to want to marry them that much either.

one big incentive would be to shut down social security or old age pensions, as to make people more self-reliant for their own sustainment instead of an abstract system of relying on other future abiding citizens, a system that in most countries is near bankruptcy bcs people lost one drive to create the next generation. tragedy of the commons?
