They now have free time to pursue another career, further their own education, or put more time and energy into the next generation.

The interesting question is what would happen if it was for everyone and not just those with children. Do you think this would be a bad thing?

My guess is that many of them will use their free time to make another couple of kids and raise their income with another 1000.

If the question would have been "what would you do?", would your answer have been the same? If not, why do you think little of us other humans?

These people quit their jobs because they were happy with their child benefits of 500 per child. This given fact, that they quit there jobs, makes me suspect that they would rather choose the strategy of increasing their salary by their number of kids than by working.

If the question would have been 'what would you do', I think I would have quit my factory job as well, actually.

While I second mrottenkolber that your guess is highly stereotypical, the intention of the polish state introducing their "500+" program seems to be exactly that: increasing the birth rate.

Do you have a source on that, or do you think lawmakers might also be concerned with the well being of children, mums, dads, single parents, young parents–no matter how many children/parents there are?
