a) Not necessarily: b) Those are provincial policies of South Tyrol, not the Italian government c) South Tyrols started its policies 40 years ago. They also included creating a govt-supported childminder day-care system ('Casa Bimbo'). d) Each province would have to first get political and economic consensus on what is a desirable birthrate for a particular province, or at least agree that pro-child policies should be implemented with taxpayer money (which in general in European politics is taboo for even discussing). e) The policies that would be needed in other provinces/regions would presumably be different and more expensive to Bolzano which has very a low cost of living. e) South Tyrol's provincial govt is led by the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP), a Christian-democratic political party for the German-speaking minority. Presumably this is considered allowable identitarianism by Italians (or at least South Tyroleans), unlike elsewhere in Italy, or Europe (compare to Hungary or Poland).
