Endless variable but I think key 5 things they could do to help; - Reduce house prices, couples often want to get the house while they have 2 incomes and then have kids. Pricing people out is going to add delay here making it harder to start a family and how many kids you can have. - Reduce education debt for the same reason as above, let youth start life without a burden holding them back. - Put tax break on kids. Have something like an extra $5k added to each parents tax free threshold for every child you have. This benefits people having children plus those returning to work which is good for society. - Paid maternity of a significant lenght for both the mum and dad. I was fortunate to have my kids in Norway where (more detail but roughly) you get 12 months paid to split between the mum and the dad. And the dad must take 3 month minimum. This was it normalises all people out of work for having kids and really helps the attitude to exit/entry and all sorts of benefits, its a real game changes to helping support families having a few kids IMO. - Subsided preschool - in Australia it was hardly worth my wife returning to work for the cost of 2 kids in pre-school. She wanted to but its a huge financial burden in many countries. Kids are covered when they get to school age but there is a window here that is financially very tough on families.
