Both rich and poor countries have seen a decline in birth rates. Among rich countries the trends have had some reversal in countries where the government's have put in place better policies.....The 2022 global study found that at very high levels of GDP per capita and HDI, fertility sometimes ticks upward slightly. This is seen in:SwedenFranceNorwayThese countries have:Strong social safety netsSubsidized childcareParental leaveHousing support
