France's high birth rate

Hard to believe but France has an even higher birthrate than the US and is the highest in the EU at 2.01. This is in part due to very good child care available at an early age and, depending on income, for free. Also there are payments by the government once a family has a second child. In fact, France is expanding its child care system which will also create jobs. Maybe something the US should consider? http://www.france24.com/en/20130611-why-french-women-make-more-babies-fertility-austerity-welfare-reforms-france
