Subsidized day care and paid parental leave doesn't make up for just how much work it is to raise a child in modern times (unlike the old days where you just hoped they survived the first few years, and pretty quickly didn't bother investing much more work into them and left them to fend for themselves). Before the "nuclear family" became a thing, people lived with their extended relatives, and raising children wasn't as much work.
