Good story, Cow.

Oddly, you'll find that the more advanced the nation, generally the far lower the population growth rate. I wouldn't be surprised to see a trend that the more socialist the economy, the lower the birth rate as well.
Not very odd. With capitalist society comes high surplus, thus the need for many children to work the farm decreases.

Cost of raising children increases dramatically so parents will only have very few and concentrate all their resources on them to make them successful in life.
