Birth rate
The Birth rate is a demographic measure reflecting the number of live births per 1,000 people in a given population over a specified period, typically a year. It is a key indicator of population growth, social trends, and economic conditions. In many Western nations, the Birth rate has declined steadily over decades, driven by factors such as increased access to contraception, shifting societal norms, and economic pressures.
An economist recently suggested men do more housework to raise the birth rate.
In fact the birthrate is highest in areas of the world where men do little or no housework.

Israel
Israel has one of the highest fertility rates among OECD countries, standing out as an outlier compared to its wealthier peers. Its fertility rate is comparable to that of poorer neighboring nations such as Egypt and Syria. [1]
Japan
Japan has experienced a significant decline in its Birth rate, with a sub-replacement fertility rate of 1.42 in 2014—down from 1.84 in the mid-1980s. This decline has been linked to cultural and economic factors, including the rise of "herbivore men," a term describing men who prioritize personal freedom and avoid traditional responsibilities such as marriage. The reluctance of these men to marry has been cited as a contributing factor to the falling Birth rate. [2][3]
