As far as abortion goes, I don't think that's the answer to help the low level of reproduction.
it certainly wouldnt hurt the population problem. and remember that each of those babies can grow up and have babies of thier own.

The thing is, women these days choose to have their first baby quite late. I read a while back that the average age of the women who choose to have their first baby in Stockholm is 36. Remember by the time the women has hit 30, her fertility is already declining. So the older the women gets, the faster it plummets. Which leaves us with 2 children/ women, if that.
thats the problem though. a population cant grow if each woman has tow children. ther has to be more than that. if each woman has 2 children that means that half will be boys and half will be girls. at that rate,the population will stay the same because for every mother that dies theres only one girl to take her place to give birth. if every mother gives birth to only one child, the population will be cut in half with each generation until it dies off. if the nother gives birth to 3 children, the population will grow by 50% with each generation. the only options you have is to either stop abortions or make more babies, or both.
