$1,000 eighteen years later? Yes, there will be interest as well, but big whoopee. Raising a kid is expensive, and even though $1,000 now won't go very far, it would be at least a little help. I doubt many families will be motivated to reproduce like rabbits just because their kids will get some money in 18 years if they live to grow up, considering that they might not get vaccinated.
