There are several problems with the economic incentive approach. First, young women are very short-term thinkers on average. This is entirely obvious if one looks at the way the majority of them spend their 7-10 year peak of personal attractiveness chasing Alphas, focusing on having fun, and pursuing useless degrees intended for careers they don’t actually want instead of investing their time in pursuing the best husband they can land and locking him down to set the stage for the next 50-60 years of their lives.
So attempting to modify their behavior with economic incentives is never going to work.
Women primarily respond to two things: social pressure and fear. So any approach intended to modify their behavior en masse needs to rely upon those two elements. I suspect that this is exactly what Russia’s psychological approach is intended to do. If young women who are proudly embarking upon the education and career approach are very publicly labeled crazy and forced to undergo regular psychological appointments, there aren’t going to be very many of them who are going to want to bear that social stigma for long........
