My 2 cents (for whatever it’s worth as someone with 4 kids) is that late capitalism has made having kids a particularly raw deal and no amount of cursory social policies/ incentives is going to change that - it’s a bandaid solution to a more fundamental economic/ social problem

A dirty secret about Nordic social democracy, is that while it redistributed income, it never really touched the wealth distribution
No doubt about who is winning in the current Danish Economy.
