Re:Vatican Economist: Recession caused by low birth rate by iujhygfbh on Thursday February 11, 2010 @02:30PM (#1118507)
Italy is in a typical 2-generation pattern.

The first generation of women to get the chance at education, real careers etc = birth rate plummets.

A generation (or two) later, there are women in politics and at the top of companies, introduce generous maternity leave, childcare etc. as in Scandinavia = birth rate rises again.
