Keeping with the title of my blog - "random bits," I have included something for a future sociology paper. The "replacement ratio" for keeping a steady population is 2.1. The lowest replacement ratios of all developed countries are these three which are, coincidentally or not, the three major Axis powers of WWII. I guess if the quest for "lebensraum" was not going to be met with more territory, then perhaps a low birthrate could have the same effect.
