Iceland is still breeding at a healthy yet sustainable 2.04 births per woman, actually.
Compare to 1.4 in Italy (and I thought they were Catholics!) or 1.38 in Germany.
Actually now I look it up the US is only 1.88 in the last stats that come up, so Iceland is out-breeding the US.
Edit: and while I don't know why I bother researching and typing these things since I inevitably wind up with negative karma the moment I suggest something not directly in line with HN herd opinion, I wish to add that the top-selling car in Iceland is the respectably mid sized Skoda Octavia.
- dogma1138 11y ago2.04 births is not enough to sustain a healthy population either, it's not irreversible likes some mainland EU countries but it's nothing to boast about. And it's also quite a sharp decline since the 80's and 70's for Iceland, just like for any other Western country.
