Or increase childcare funding ???

  That moves the costs around but doesn’t reduce them per se.

    Right, but if you're already partially paying (through your taxes) for childcare, the change in costs between not having children and having children is dramatically lower. And the financial costs of raising the next generation are shared more evenly across the population, instead of being concentrated on the people that are also doing the majority of the actual work.

  Not enough. Here in Finland full time childcare is capped at 300 euros per child by law, the rest of the cost passing on to the taxpayer, but we haven't seen a resurgence in birthrates due to that. But you could get that down to 150 if you doubled the ratio, or 100 if you tripled it, and maybe then people would start again.
