This volume examines ten economically advanced countries in Europe and Asia that have experienced different levels of fertility decline. It offers readers a crosscountry perspective on the causes and consequences of low birth rates and the different policy responses to this worrying trend.The countries examined are not only diverse geographically, historically, and culturally, but also have different policies and institutions in place. They include six verylowfertility countries (Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Spain, and Taiwan) and four that have close to replacementlevel fertility (United Kingdom, Norway, Canada, and France).Although fertility has gone down in all these countries over the past 50 years, the chapters examine the institutional, policy, and cultural factors that have led some countries to have much lower fertility rates than others. In addition, the final chapter provides a crosscountry comparison of individual perceptions about obs tacles to fertility, based on survey data, and government support for families. This broad overview, along with a general introduction, helps put the specific country papers in context.As birth rates continue to decline, there is increasing concern about the fate of social welfare systems, including healthcare and programs for the elderly. This book will help readers to better understand the root causes of such problems with its insightful discussion on how a countrys institutions, policies, and culture shape fertility trends and levels.
