I agree a rebalancing of values in favor of families and intergenerational heritage will be necessary.

Nice article. When it comes to birth rates I think they cannot be increased solely by family policies. Family policies can increase birthrates from 1.3 to 1.5 for example (with huge financial costs), but will not be able to increase them to replacement levels. To increase birthrates a cultural reorientation will be needed, rather than an economic one. Israel has high birthrates not because of its economic policies but because of the extinction of its secular liberal social elements.
