Say India and China purse natalist policies from 1949 to the modern day

How large could their populations be by the modern day.
Way, way too big. Like why they'd want that is beyond me, especially India.

It has been pursued, governments have increased funding for childcare, expanded tax credits for families with kids, expanded maternity leave among other things
These programs have not had the success imagined by the proponents of these proposals. The most important natalist policy is the desire of the individual to have children, many westerners just don't want children. But most of the population in developed countries want children, just not to many, most want 1 or 2 children.
