What about policies that aid the labor force participation of people that already have kids? Subsidized abundant childcare, for example, both lowers the cost of being a parent and makes it easier for parents to go back to work. Like, I get that the _gap reduction_ is correlated with lower birth rates, but presumably we have finer-grained data than that?

I can tell you that better childcare correlates with higher economic output just by looking at my home - both of us work from home and the timing of our child's engagements pretty much dictates when we can schedule meetings.
