Do you have some numbers on this? I suspect it's a couple of issues.
1. If you just give people money to pay for childcare or whatever, but there's not enough labor, then all that happens is that the price gets bid up higher.
2. I suspect that the 'hard push' wasn't arrived at by figuring out how much money it would actually take to make someone have kids, but by fighting for whatever Euros could be diverted. There is definitely an amount of money that people will have kids for, but I think it is a lot higher than governments/electorates are ready to confront.

All of these countries have universal childcare starting at 12-18 months with over 90% attendance. I think point 2 is worth investigating, it could be a truly ludicrous number though for all I know.
