These claims bear a strong similarity to those made by opponents of welfare, who contend that increasing subsidies for
children will encourage welfare mothers to bear more children. As an empirical matter, there is not much support for this proposition. Researchers have found, at most, only a small positive correlation between welfare and childbearing, and only for particular groups of women without high-school degrees (for example, Philip Robins & Paul Fronstin, Welfare Benefits and Birth Decisions of Never-Married Women, 15 Population Res. & Pol’y Rev. 21 (1996). The existence of even this correlation, however, is hotly contested because of the difficulty of separating out conflating factors. See, e.g., Robert Fairlie & Rebecca London, The Effect of Incremental Benefit Levels on Births to AFDC Recipients, 16 Journal of Policy and Analysis Management 575 (1997) .
