"I see in Ireland the number of births has decreased. What would the reasoning be behind this? "
The average age of the Irish male to marry is now the oldest on record at 36. This is bound to have a follow on affect on births. Females average age is 34. |

Maybe due to a certain referendum."
Took longer than I thought
Imo it’s likely to be due to the cost of having a child and access to better healthcare. |

If they had any sense they wouldn't marry at all. |

Due to the cost of living esp in the cities people cant afford to have families as both adults are required to have full time Jobs to pay the mortgage or rent |

I saw a girl and chap on recently about the cost of living in Dublin. It's absolutely mind boggling how people can live there. |

The highest fertility rate in Europe is Ireland’s at 1.98. This rate, however, is still below the population replacement level of 2.1 births per woman. One reason for a decreasing fertility rate in Ireland is the average age of first-time mothers, which is 30.3 years old. Two possible factors that could contribute to the decreased fertility rate in Ireland are the lack of flexible work options and the high childcare costs. These factors are causing women to sacrifice making a family for their careers |

People can't afford to have large Family's anymore due to both parent's having to work full time and the cost of Childcare etc Despite some wanting more kid's it's just not practical. |

I may be wrong, so don't quote me on this, but i might be onto something here. Is it because the entire single male population of ireland is on here??
There are no males left out there to repopulate!

I think a lot of folk who came from big families started to realise that big families mean a lower standard of living and therefore have kept child rearing to 1-3.
There just aren’t the huge families anymore, people don’t want it. |

Europe is getting older and older. There is demographic decrease with births and icrease in deaths
Fact. Additionally, a few more reasons: childcare is very expensive here, no flexible time for mothers, healthcare isnt on top class, and finally: men arent responsible as they were about 10years ago. They are scared for being responsible for themselves and what about their partners and children?
I wanted 4kids but ended with 2.
Im 44 years old and one of friend told me why I didnt re marry and have a child. Its simple! I didnt find a right candidate!  |

As we advanced we ought to have been able to comfortably support families.
But instead we went backwards, from having lots of children and only a few of them surviving to not have the capability to bring up even just one. |

I know lots of couples who would love to have no.3 or 4 but with both parents needed to pay the mortgage and the cost of childcare it's a huge undergoing to have one.
It's slightly easier for rural couples as Costs are less down the country. |

It isnt "discovering" its all about the controlling the people |

Ye should have gone to the Virgin Megastore, they stocked ‘Mates’ condoms.
There is another reason... there is a direct link between Cystic Fibrosis and infertility, Ireland having the greatest instance of CF in the world. The reasons behind this are linked to our ever diminishing gene pool, largely because of emigration down through the years. Ireland I think is one of the few countries to have a smaller population than it had 100 years ago. Take away the amount of ‘new Irish’ over the past 20 years and you could easy reduce it by possibly 200k or more.
In the 1980’s there were virtually no ‘foreigners’ living here apart from the few Dutch and Germans who had holiday homes in West Cork. |

Could be a number of reasons..one maybe being the next generation are too selfish and dont want the responsibility of having kids ,they may feel that too many lights on their board of light will be switched off if they do ,they won't have the same freedom or money to spend on themselves and enjoy life the way they want to ,it may seem harsh to a lot of people but l'm only saying this cause I know those that have said it to me. |

Doubt that. The numbers of women accessing termination services in Ireland has not been the level it's been expected considering the amount that have travelled for services.
The law has only been in place since January, it's now October so don't think the stats reflect this year but the past few years.
IMO the cost of childcare and living is too much that people are only have 1 or 2 kids. I know a lot of my friends are choosing not to have kids because they don't want to. The planet is overpopulated anyways.  |

It's not a bad thing. We Irish have had too many children for generations. As a country we couldn't support them all so they, fortunately, could emigrate. While I choose to have my children,I had my eye firmly on the costs to come and what standard of living I could provide for them. I come from big families through the generations, and saw the poverty and lack of opportunity it causes. |

Birth rates in all developed countries are in decline, Ireland has still one of the highest among those. The Irish birth rate is decling already over decades and not only this or the last year. It has very little to do with the referendum, but with life style ie education, birth control in general and the increased costs of rising children etc. |
