Countries like Japan and Singapore have provided all sorts of incentives, to no avail. Europe has more social benefits than America - yet people are reproducing less and less. It also becomes a philosophical question. People these days have different mindsets compared to ancestors.
So you're just saying that countries that have incentives are experiencing lower rates? How do you know the rate wouldn't have been even lower had those programs not been in place? You have show a study were they control for other factors and compare with and without such incentives, or before/after.
Japan has a famously hostile and demanding work culture, I'm surprised anyone have kids there at all..
