There’s an ignorance of the basic laws of economics here.

I will volunteer to help Italy with their declining birthrate by help producing children.

This is called forced abortion because the “ women in economic difficulty “ is just a excuse to open the door for other reasons to force abortions on women.

If the intent is to increase the birthrate, I think it might work.

So everyone who gets pregnant can just extend their hand for mo’ money by faking intent to abort?
Likewise, the uninformed poor will get knocked up because they are guaranteed 18 months of OPM.

Sorry, my mistake, I read it wrong.

Then allow the mother to put the child up for adoption.
I’d be happy to adopt an Italian baby. He could help me on Mafia Wars.

And the fee is paid out of who’s pocket?

Maybe not, if what they want is to boost the rate of pregnancy and childbirth. And effective for Muslim immigrants as well as Italians. Probably MORE effective for them.
If one wants to boost the rate of "in-wedlock, Italian" childbirth, the problem there isn't that people lack money, but that they lack meaning. I suspect the only way to supply what's lacking in the "meaning" department --- addressing the faith, hope, and love gap --- is a revitalization of Catholicism, something the state can't do because it's a spiritual --- not a political -- thing: not the state's job.

This policy is more likely to increase the Muslim birthrate, rather than the Italian birthrate.
From wikipedia:
During the last two decades, Lombardy became the destination of a large number of foreign immigrants, so today more than a quarter of all foreign immigrants in Italy lives in Lombardy. As of 2008, the Italian national institute of statistics ISTAT estimated that 815,335 foreign-born immigrants live in Lombardy, equal to 8.4% of the total regional population.

I just watched a Sophia Loren Italian movie made in 1954 where she had to stay pregnant to stay out of jail, she had about 6 back to back kids, wore her poor husband out(lucky jerk). So in fifty years now it’s the opposite...

Last I read the fertility rate of Italy was 1.41 and dropping. Even Japan is using financial incentives to encourage Japanese couples to have children because their fertility rate is even lower at 1.34. Russia is at 1.49. America is right at replacement level which is 2.1.

True. And if you exclude immigrants and first-generation children of immigrants from the count, the US has been below replacement for the last 40 years.
