The reason that I think that the study I mentioned above is so important here isn't just the way that it addresses birth rates in particular.

I think (personally) that it can also be extended to suggest that if you give people without financial means the TOOLS to do so, they don't "make bad choices." Not when they have real options to make better ones. The thing is that "enroll in this program" doesn't present a real choice to a parent who NEEDS to work those hours.
