My cousins in France each have 3-5 children, because they have free daycare, socialized health care France's fertility rate is basically the same as the US. (1.9 vs 1.84 according to https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/total-fertility-rate/country-comparison/ https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/total-fertility...). Other countries with expansive welfare states like Finland and Sweden are even lower.
