    I don’t think any country has liberated women and increased birthrates after have they?

      Thats not the reason, but economics is. For example Korea and Japan – where the gender norms are pretty conservative – have a lot lower birthrate than Sweden – one of the most equal countries. It more depends on wealth being the most important factor, social security systems and workforce participation of women.

      So either avoid getting wealthy, get a lot of immigration or get the social security systems in place to make it easy getting kids.
