thought china's growth is a little bit lower these days but this pic also doesn't look so bad for me. their growth is maybe 0.5% yearly. it just looks so crazy because they have so many people there. if they would lose the same percentual as germany does it would look crazy as well.

these lists are good:

lol just look at my country germany^^

Hasn't ylour government and many others in Europe offered significant amounts of government funding to encourge more women to have more children? It seems it is not working because the benifits for mothers have been way higher than the US for a long time. It makes you wonder if there is an empirical solution to change it other than hoping cultural conditions change.

yeah there a lot of possibilities (no clue about other european countries). monthly money for every child to the date the child will start to make money with own work (that means like 20 years per child some hundred euros every month), some freetime from your job when you get your child (i believe 3 years), money you get the weeks before birth and something called "elterngeld" which u get the first 12 months or so up to 1800 euro per month (depends on your income)

maybe i forgot something or i have some numbers wrong but it's not like you wouldn't get financial help.

but this doesn't seem to be the biggest problem, people with most money get the least kids and they could get some even without financial help. who has the most kids in germany? yeah the poor people.
