But before 50-100 years it was less expensive to have kids. Today kids have more wishes, education is a must, good healthcare, holidays, even a good food (kids in past, at least in south and west were sometimes hungry). It is not easy to have much kids today. But in the same time I would say it is not even necessary.
For a simple reproduction it is enough for a couple to have two kids. With stopped immigration that would be enough.
I'm fine with praising a nuclear family but not as only solution. Best solution is that women who want to have kids should have huge benefits, couples as well.
I don't know how much it is present in West, but even more wouldn't be too much.
As far as I know there are even some taxes in Germany for non-married people?
