some cultural hangup and the cause of one of the lowest fertility rates in Europe
Total baloney! My Portuguese grandmother's sister had 22 kids. She was not a total outlier.
Portugal's low fertility rates are mostly due to economics and are hugely distorted by the obvious fact that many Portuguese emigrants are in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Many of my Portuguese friends' kids were born abroad.
