Many countries have those things and it has had no effect on birth rates.
Once birth rates start declining it doesn't seem to be reversible within a single generation.
Which simply means that those countries also have societal pressures which favor not having children despite the measures they may be taking. Birth rates don't decline because of magic, it's a response to systemic pressures. It should be obvious that it's possible to create different pressures within the society that favor different choices.
