Unintended? Hardly. The current administration has pushed hard for some time now, to encourage women to "go back to family".

I was thinking that examples of Italy and Germany (versus e.g. France or Sweden) were showing that this mindset simply doesn't work. Women end up spending even more effort on infiltrating the workspace and have fewer children later.

When you demand mother to be perfect (e.g. by being stay at home), you get less children, and nobody becomes happier. As opposed to laid back approach with society safety net.
