I definitely didn't get this idea from Japanese pornographic comics but one way an authoritarian country like China could rapidly increase its birth rate would be to turn Teen Pregnancy into a graduation requirement.
You want to graduate high school? gotta have a kid.
You want to go to University? gotta bring a kid along
You want to get into a master's program? gotta have TWO kids
You want to get into a PHD program? gotta have THREE kids
You want Communist Party Membership? again, gotta have three kids.
You want to assume a leadership role in the CCP? Gotta have four kids.
Logistically this is helped by the fact that during school, the students are all going to the same place every day, it wouldn't be *that* difficult to add childcare facilities. You'd have teachers/adult caregivers overseeing the daycares, but the students would each have one period looking after the kids, and they'd do most of the actual work.
If you knock the students up when they are 15, by the time they complete their postsecondary education and enter the workforce, the kids themselves are going to be in elementary school.
Most of the usual drawbacks to teen pregnancy are associated with, essentially, the fact that teen parents have responsibilities that the other kids their age don't have, but if EVERYBODY is doing it, then EVERYBODY has those responsibilities and it's not a comparative disadvantage.
The other way to "make it stick" is to roll the program out at elite schools first.
One of China's big problems is that basically every aspect of their society is overtly hostile to young mothers and small children, and reorienting their education system to generate young mothers and small children is probably the only way they could exercise the sort of top-down control they like to use to address problems.
