    No. But if you give women the choice you have to create the conditions that having a baby is the best option.

    Assuming the freedom to choose, I don’t think those conditions exist. I think that people that want children will have them, and people that don’t won’t. I think the new normal is a lower nativity.

    It is, if you give women the choice.

    In countries where women get to choose, nativity goes down. In Bangladesh the nativity dropped with improved living standards. There’s a great video about it.

      Why should there be a fixed border? Improve material and emotional conditions for families and that border will shift.

      In countries where women get to choose, nativity goes down.

      Conditions in Sweden are best and still not good enough. Of course they go down in other countries.
