I think we pretty much have stopped subsidizing that. Welfare has been cut to a very large extent- which of course is why we have the working poor, and is why so many of my students, who come from divorced families, where mom has custody of the kids, a job, and no child support- have no supervision.

Unfortunately children with no supervision tend to explore interesting adult options for entertainment- like sex, recreational drug use, and crime.

So perhaps, if we want kids to stop having kids we should make sure 1. they are supervised, and 2. they have options to keep them busy that do not involve sex, drugs and high risk behaviors.
