If you’ve ever dreamed of an international romance with a side of government-sponsored perks, you’re in luck! Some countries are so desperate to boost their populations that they’re literally paying people to get married and start families. Yes, you read that right – love and financial benefits all in one package!
From cash bonuses to housing perks, these seven countries are rolling out incentives to make marriage (and baby-making) a national priority. So, if you’re single and ready to mingle – internationally – here’s where you should be looking.
1. China – Cash for Commitment
China’s gender imbalance is no joke. After years of the one-child policy, the country now has millions more men than women, making marriage quite the competitive sport.
To tackle the population crisis, some local governments are offering financial incentives, tax breaks, and even subsidised housing for couples who get married and have kids. It’s not exactly a ‘marry now, get rich’ scheme, but hey, every little bit helps!
2. Hungary – Love Comes with a Loan (That Disappears!)
Hungary takes the ‘marriage incentive’ game to another level. If you’re under 40 and getting married for the first time, the government hands you a whopping $30,000 interest-free loan.
3. Italy – Marry, Move, and Get Paid
4. Iceland – The Small but Generous Nation
5. Estonia – Where Love Comes with a Bonus
