7 magg 1975 anni - Reasons for decline
1. Changes in women's position, has led to a changed mind set among women resulting in fewer children (Sarah Harper)
2. In previous decades the infant mortality rate was higher meaning parents had more children to replace those they lost.
3. Policy/ Law changes and change in norms means that parents now feel less willing to have a large family.
4.Child centredness= Quantity over quality (fewer children means more attention and resources on the ones you do have.)
