Nowadays, the decreasing fertility has become the most serious problem to many countries around the world. It’s 1.4 in Japan, 1.17 in Singapore, 1.12 in South Korea, 1.67 in Sweden and 1.41 in Greece. These are all far below the 2.1 reproduction rate. Therefore, these countries are all facing some population problems such as lacking of workforce or ageing population.
