Abstract :

In recent years, many countries in the world have a positive view of population growth, and accordingly, they have moved their policies towards incentive policies. Also, due to the decline in Iran's fertility below the replacement level in the mid-2000s, Iran's peronatalist policies resumed in 2006 after almost two decades. The purpose of this study is to review Iran's population incentive policies and compare it with other countries in the world. European countries are at the top of the list with negative population growth rates Who have tried to change the appearance of their population. Their incentive policies are mostly in the form of financial aid, education facilities, health, even in the form of vacation packages,. But in Iran, barriers to childbearing and even higher barriers to marriage have not yet been removed from young people, and incentives for marriage and childbearing have been written only on paper. Therefore, it is necessary for the authorities in the Iran to solve the necessary conditions as well as the economic problems of families as well as the problems of youth marriage, so that families can increase the generation and youth for marriage, without any economic or social problems, etc. Encourage the issue.
