    The most important reason to lower fertility rates in industrialized countries is education. The more years of education the fewer children a person has.

    The 'western world' does still not know how to cope with knowledge. The knowlegde of knowledge is not developed in the west. Modern families in the west usually consist of one person. Approx 50% of the households in Europe consists of one person. In some cities 60% and above. This is also the reason why politician do not want to touch these questions. They don't want to loose votes. The fertility rate has to be connected to education. Persons with children have to be able to compete with collegues without children. Especially women have to have other conditions to compete on the labour market and having children.

    There is a great need for Europe to create a long-term constitutional body that politicians can not influence. Assist us in this, if you have possibility.
