You're seriously asking me to explain handouts for women?
You are going to have how handouts to women are being used specifically to increase births.
Strictly speaking, a "replacement rate" is just economist speak for a population that increases at a rate that allows consistent economic growth, that's why it's not exactly 2. Rather hilariously for you, the idea was created by a Jew.
It's over 2 because some people die before having children.
Bribing people to do what you want. Have you not heard women's excuses? Maternity leave is too short, they get discriminated against at work after pregnancy, they have to work too long, childcare is too expensive. So instead of telling them to go fuck themselves, the government fixes their made up issues to try and pump up the birth rate. Women, being women, just make up new excuses.

Those are concessions being made to keep women working, not increasing birth rates.
How on earth does giving them more maternity leave make them work more?
It makes them not quit.
