The way to increase the birth rate is to make it easier for people to have kids.

It takes money to raise kids, so if the jobs people have and the prices people pay for thing would cause riots in the 1950s then its no wonder the birth rate is declining. Adding programs to ease the burden, such as national daycare, do help but there are still so many other points of strain.

It also takes time to raise kids, so if time demands and travel times (due to affordability of housing near work) are, again, something that would be preposterous to some one from 70 years ago then it is no wonder the birth rate is declining. While some schemes, such as incentives, can aid in this they still only soften the blow.

Even with money and time it still takes a desire to raise kids, so if culture has shifted into a state unrecognizable to previous generations then it is no wonder the birth rate is declining. The only way to fix this is active social engineering to refresh in the minds of citizens the both the desire to have children, and to care about their community beyond just a lazy passive feeling and instead actually caring about your neighbours. However without the financial stability and time required raise a child such social engineering will not get very far and might even be ridiculed.

Taking these things into account the answer is massive systemic changes to bring life more in line to how it was when the birth rate was higher.

Yet why is the birth rate an issue? The answer is the entire financial system, pensions included, are predicated on the idea of an indefinite time scale of ever increasing growth with an unlimited ceiling. A pure and simple impossibility. Funnily enough if this systemic need for infinite growth is removed then people will have both more money and more time, and could be far more susceptible to social engineering that would increase the birth rate and thus cause growth.
