Economic & Political WeeklySummary: The recent draft Population Management Policy by the Government of Andhra Pradesh, which proposes monetary benefits for couples having a second or third child, merits scrutiny on empirical, normative, and equity grounds. Drawing on the state’s demographic trajectory, the international evidence on pro-natal fiscal incentives, India’s experience with incentive-based family planning programmes, and a consideration of the structural determinants of fertility decline, this article argues that monetary incentivisation is unlikely to produce a sustained reversal in fertility choices. –Reproduced
