Decent first step, but it's going to take an actual investment in making parenthood desirable.

Parenthood is already desirable. There's a biological drive and social conditioning to desire it for most people. The disincentives have just become overwhelming. Children take a hell of a lot of resources. Every aspect of modern society has drained all the time, money, energy, emotional resiliance, social support, etc that people need.

Also the future is bleak in the poly-crisis.
