Low fertility rate is a big is

ue in the European countries. Pro-baby policies have been introduced to revive the birth rate and help couples balance family and career. Norway gives about 54 weeks of maternity leave where a woman is paid 80 per cent of her salary. In Europe, France has the highest birth rate. Highest numbers of French women work between the ages of 25 and 49 due to the ease of cheap health care, low-cost preschools – for infants as young as six months – subsidised at-home care, generous maternity leaves and tax and transportation breaks. The next reason stems from the first one. Why should one go through such a thing when there is a lot of room for dreaming and aspiring but very little time and fortune to actually live it? We have found each other and we share a great understanding. There is so much that we want to explore in the world together with a carefree mind. The entire idea of constantly taking care of kids and spending all that you are earning to secure comfortable future for them or saving up for one’s retirement is so compromising. In fact, when we look around at people who have kids, we feel even more convinced about not going through such a challenging lifestyle. For that matter, there are so many couples with kids who envy our freedom and ease, the freedom of packing bags anytime for a brief vacation and the ease of not living in haste and instead having a lot of time at hand to nurture new interests and dreams, that too at any age.

Not that there isn’t a flip side to this choice. One, as they all say, during old age it feels really good when your grandchildren visit you or when there is someone who is concerned for you in times of trouble. The other one is what the experienced ones tell, that children keep the flame of passion ignited and render strength of responsibility to save it from becoming a footloose relationship. About the former, we can only feel sad. And in the case of the latter, the mere presence of kids cannot guarantee the robustness of a relationship. Besides, the reasons for stress increase.”
