The lesson is that subsidies work. Israel basically subsidizes ultra-orthodox sects that prioritize large families. They also have general policies that subsidize families such as free child care. I'm not making a value judgement ether way, just saying that it's a simple case of subsidizing something and therefore getting more of that thing. If we implemented free preschool, a child tax credit, and reforms to reduce the cost of housing we could also raise our birth rate.
