Not that I am disagreeing with your assessment, but I think low child brith rate is pretty universal in developed country.

Yes, education is a big factor in reduced birth rate, but I doubt it’s the biggest factor. If educated people lived in societies with good conditions for raising and bearing children, I imagine they would make the informed decision to get children.
It would take more than financial incentives I suspect. It’s the time cost that is so demanding and it would likely require a restructuring of society that either results in people working much less hours, or a more community-based child rearing approach.
