I have read that women, not men, are expected to leave work to look after their children so they stay working as long as possible before starting a family meaning there is often no possibility of having more than one child. Their culture is the cause of this problem.
Simple logic if you think about it.
Doesn't the desire to have children regardless of financial circumstances outweigh anything else?
If you look at high population countries such as India, money doesn't seem to matter. Or is this due to inadequate birth control?

But you're denying families the right to have kids just because they're poor. Are you saying kids are only for the wealthy?

Are you in turn saying that lots of kids born into a family that can't afford to feed them deserve to starve?
Your blog is about the decline in births in Japan and I've given you an explanation . All I'm saying is if you can't afford to feed and clothe the children you have don't keep having more .
Exhausting...omg...
This is often perpetuated by religion who see it as a way of increasing their congregation and thereby increasing their income.
A vicious circle.
Countries wanting more children born to educated parents should encourage companies to allow mothers - and fathers - longer parental leave, then the option to work more from home, and should also act against the rip-off culture bombarding parents with expensive must-haves. Financial incentives alone won't do the trick - ask a woman to give up a job where she had to study to qualify, and has put in years gaining experience and ability, to put back her career for 5 years or forever, for a relatively small cash bribe, will never work out. That only attracts the mums who don't want to work anyway and could never earn much, not exactly quality parent types
Ask the professional woman to give up a year, then balance home-office life with homeworking online (in combination with the child's father) with excellent nearby child-care options when both have to be at the office, and have those child-care places able to be flexible rather than demand a huge flat monthly amount for permanent services - now you're talking. Countries doing that are seeing a recovery in their figures because we do all, after all, want children. Not to hand them over at vast expense to be raised by others, to create families.
The birth rate should be at 2.1 for growth and sustainability. USA is I think 1.6 (UK 1.56, Spain 1.19) so immigrants are needed. Governments and populations that don't want immigrants need to be proactive in support.
