WYSIWYG - I agree with your comments about childcare. The one recommendation that did stand out to me as being well-advised (and seems to have a good evidence-base) is the idea of tying the paid parental leave to the average wage & then plowing the PPL savings into expanding childcare options. This is the sort of measure that does increase workforce participation for parents, especially mothers, and so it makes sense economically as well as socially.
