Population Growth: Encouraging Families + Migration

I'd like a way to increase population growth by encouraging citizens to have more children. Perhaps long-term higher population growth could be balanced by a short-term increase in housewives (or just a decrease in employable citizens of both sexes - 21st Century!) + diminished life expectancy for women each time they give birth + increased social security cost to reflect State incentives (subsidies for childcare, family planning services, etc.).

On migration, maybe you could set a policy that encourages immigration by being able to toggle the education/health systems - the amount of education/health consumed by immigrants could be somewhat higher than for natural-born citizens (to reflect more language training of teachers/health professionals, vaccinations, etc.).

+1 for ssc for State incentives (would be a nice extra feature anyway) that may increase birthrates or maybe just lower child-death-rates

-1 for diminished life expectancy for women when given birth as that would reduce the overall ssc costs again as this would mean less retired people

Good point on reduced life expectancy also reducing the social security cost to care for the elderly/retired.

The main idea is that there is a tradeoff between short-term financial cost and population gain.

Or just have a bunch of college parties.
