Increased male earnings increases fertility, but increased female earnings does not (aside from assortive mating).
There are only so many hours in a day, and if your raising four kids it’s going to be really hard to work (and daycare cost paid by you or the government are going to drain all your income).
Of course you could outsource earnings to a husband and focus on spending time with the kids you made, but without married filing jointly you get no tax benefit.
Hungary has a former communist attitude that the state should subsidize working women but not SAHM. As a result they are plowing money into something that is unlikely to work that well.
