More people who want kids, might if:
Better wages (esp that close the gender & race wage gap)
PAID family leave & paid sick days
Fertility treatments (covered by insurance)
Affordable QUALITY health care (esp reproductive and maternal health care)
Affordable child care
That would be a START

If I see another article about birth rates that refuses to grapple with the way having children systematically disadvantages women I swear to god. There is no mystery. Stop pretending there is. We’ve got to do away with credulity for nonsense.

Hell even anti abortion folks, fake pretend they are gonna care for children who are born.
Because they know quite a few worry about “how am I going to take care of the baby??”
Gee, I wonder why more people aren’t having babies??
SIR, if everything goes spectacularly (which def means no C section), maybe MAYBE a parent can come back after 8 weeks?
