Disagree, wealthy countries are labor resource constrained so the cost of child care balloons compared to wages.

And I predict that as the cost of labor goes up, people will want to have more kids again because it will be profitable, not unlike subsistence farmers wanting kids to work on the farm.

Childcare has the problem of not getting more productive as other areas do get more productive, increasing the cost as wages go up.
