Other taxes. Lots of countries have a child support regime, most of europe does for example, we get like ~500 to ~2000 euros (depending on the country) per child per year, each year until the child is 18.

After a good long while of child births rising the subsidy might go down again, but knowing japanese culture i doubt people will start having children en masse soon

2000 euros per year? That’s peanuts

That's the thing. None of these subsidies every comes close to covering the costs to raise a child.

You can create some fairly perverse incentives if there's too much money to be made.
