What causes the birth rate in northern Europe, which has the best national welfare, to be so low?

The welfare of the country is so good that they have no desire to have children; Then there is the improvement of women's status, which leads to a decrease in the number of children.

The welfare treatment in Nordic countries is a "cradle to grave" welfare policy. In other words, from the day of birth to the day of death, the state will guarantee your basic needs, and your studies, medical care, entrepreneurship, unemployment, pension and other aspects will be paid by the state, and you don't need to pay for it yourself.

With such good welfare benefits, people's pressure is particularly small and their happiness index is high. They are very exclusive to having children, because they don't have to expect their children to support the elderly, carry on the family line, fight for their own breath, or let their children fulfill their unfinished wishes, and so on. They are dispensable to children.

Without children, their lives will be very happy. With children, they may become unhappy, because some children will become "neets" when they grow up, which will cause them a burden. Having children will consume too much time and energy, so they don't want to waste their precious time and energy because of having children.

Another is that the social status of women in Nordic countries is very high. Nordic countries are very rich and developing rapidly. Their educational ideas are more advanced. They have long advocated equality between men and women, and even women are better than men.

Nordic women have always received the highest education since childhood. They don't need to rely on men psychologically, but like spiritual independence and economic independence. With spiritual and economic independence, they have more freedom to choose whether to live or not. Basically, most women don't want to have children, because the time to have children will delay their development at work.
