Low birthrates causes also

-higher housing cost, more dense living

-longer education track (need to shorten)

-went from one to two adults working (remote work and 4 day workweek)

-benefits of kids are societal while costs are personal (need to adjust tax code)

-minivans (easier for parents that want more kids)

-help with high fertility groups as in order to get replacement need to support 4+ kid families because not everyone will have 2

-normalize family life (teach home ec and child raising in school)

-match making (encourage women to seek partners as well)

Also push automation and temporary workers in response to workers shortage.
