The Western world is facing a population crisis, with many people choosing not to get married.
This leads to a low birth rate, which is detrimental to the economy. When people don’t marry, they often don’t have children, resulting in an ageing population that cannot contribute as effectively to economic growth.
To counter this, many countries offer incentives for married couples.
Germany, Italy, Iceland, Singapore, France, the Netherlands, Russia, Luxembourg, and others allow married couples to be taxed jointly rather than individually, which can lower their tax burden.
Singapore and Russia also provide loans and housing benefits to married couples. Additionally, some countries even offer financial incentives for single people to get married.
