in germany, they give you money to have children. it's called kindergeld.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_benefit

depends on the number of children: first 2 is 219€/child/month, until they're adults. i knew people in college that were still collecting kindergeld.

maternal leave can be anywhere from several weeks to several years. you keep your job and a paycheck with few limitations.

your employer is also required to give you two paid vacation days per month. that's almost 4 weeks of paid vacation per year at the entry level, before you count national/state holidays.

undergrad is free.

you could have all this too, if you would only tax the rich, but america sucks huge dirty donkey dick and loves it

Yet Germans have fewer children than Americans.

America took the opposite approach: people living in poverty tend to have more children
