   There is a very simple solution to the problem. Just add a tax to single people and childless couples or reverse give huge tax break to married and couple with kids.

   In past the motive for marriage was sex and companionship which was frowned in society if out of wedlock. Now it is not frowned upon. The old constraint is gone and we need to add new constraints if we want to solve the problem.

         One argument will be that society invested lot of resources in bringing up the "singles" but now it is their time to take up the responsibility. Extra tax seems like a easy way out.
