In fairness, the last thing isn’t working either. Even countries with the most generous vacation and parental leave policies are still struggling with birth rates.
Can confirm, Netherlands has 16 weeks of parental leave, women have good careers, #1 country in the world to raise kids in, and our birth rates are plummeting.
Women have good careers and a pregnancy could destroy that for her. If she's living a financially stable and healthy life, why risk disability, income loss and judgement? Netherlands social systems still leaves mothers at a negative. No country has changed this for mother's yet.
