Can Europe’s fertility rate recover?

An interesting post over at VoxEU looking at European fertility over time. They argue that Europe has had very low fertility rates before – back in the 1930s – but birth rates eventually recovered to a higher pace. Can this happen again? "European countries may still be able to fend off their feared extinction by encouraging higher fertility levels. But rather than trying to recreate the conditions that fuelled the post-war baby boom, their policies should be geared towards making childbearing, and parenting, compatible with the 21st century reality of greater equality in economic opportunities for women and men." Read the full post here.
