[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The countries with the lowest fertility rate are the ones with the highest rates of female education but where the traditional role of women has not caught up. In Italy, Germany, and Japan, for example, it is very hard to be a working mother, and many women are forced out of the labor market. In such a situation, getting married and having kids is not a very attractive option. In those countries with the best childcare options, and where working mothers are not stigmatized, like the UK, Sweden, and Norway, fertility rates are close to replacement ratio.[/quote] I should add that the US is something of an exception, with relatively high fertility despite high rates of female education and the lack of family-friendly policies. Partly this reflects immigration, but also cultural factors - higher rates of teen pregnance, much more religious, encouraging people to get married earlier, etc.[/quote]
