[quote=Anonymous]My family is Greek and I have many relatives (my mom and dad's brothers and sisters) living in Greece right now.  The financial situation is dire.  Many of my relatives were quite wealthy with second and third homes, household staff, luxury cars, etc.  Now, they are all hurting.

That said, my married cousins in the 30-45 year old range have two to three children each.  Most have two.

My Mom comes from a family of 8 and my Dad from a family of 5.  They both grew up in Greece.  I do not believe my grandparents practiced birth control.  They were also very religious (Greek Orthodox).

For the poster who sites that people in Europe are less religious, I wouldn't say that goes for my Greek relatives.  They all are much more religious than we are (we don't go to church) but I know that they are much more modern about their birth control.

So- from my experience I would say that the financial situation has something to do with it as well as "modernization."  Most of my Greek girl cousin's work, as well, as their careers are important to them.
