Actually, a "license to reproduce" is the right solution.

Perhaps rather than a blanket approach, it could be used in situations where the child is clearly at risk due to the neglect or abuse of the parent(s).

I don't like the idea of any government controlling whether or not I can have children, that said - I do believe government intervention is sometimes necessary.

Having a small child (fostered by some friends) crawl into my lap and ask not to be sent home because 'Mummy will hurt me' is extremely distressing. What to say? I don't have the authority to re-assure that will not happen and this is not the first time in care for this child.

It is experiences such as this which make me look with rather more interest on this concept - though I think it is a completely emotional, rather than rational, response on my part.
I only intended to quote the part starting with "having a small child"
It is no easer when the child is 16, your granddoughter, and you do every thing youcan and watch the investagating officers get more exicited about a misdeminer drug charge and blow the assult investigation.

Some obvious elements:

Proof of adequate financial means to support the child (and adults) without burdening the taxpayers. If proof of financial responsibility is mandated to drive (a necessary activity to obtain employment for very many people), then it is even more justified for having a child.

Two involved adults (or, at minimum - since some very few persons may have the father pass away prior to having the child - one or more secondary adults, such as extended family.) This would help involve fathers, who are not for large portions of children, and reconnect women to mate-as-income, and not state-as-income.

A skills test. A mental-fitment test would be good too, but that is harder to objectively score.

I agree it is tough (well, morally tough) to enforce.
Ahhhh, an idealist?
Tell that to two teens under the influence of new raging hormones in the back seat of a car. LOL!
