Yeah but it's because you get a lot of welfare when you have babies in France,especially when you have 3 or more.

Stop giving these freebies and fertility rates will drop in no time.

The question is , should we encourage it? in the long run ,it doesnt make sense. We often hear on the radio here how Germans dont make babies anymore and it will doom Germany. I dont think so, one country doesnt need perpetual population growth in order to survive, i believe Germans are smarter on these issues.



"doesnt need perpetual population growth" It's no longer about growth, it's about decline now.

Can a country with perpetually declining and aging population survive? In what form?


I don't think than "perpetual" is going to happen to any trend.
