>in comparison with Germany for example, women tend to have more children (2.3) and have them younger with less impact on their career and revenue. Indeed. Interestingly the differences between western and eastern states of Germany are huge. Childcare and prenatal care are in general much better in the region of former East Germany. Currently we are short on nearly 300,000 places for children in childcare (Kindertagesstätten/Kitas) but only 30,000 of them are in eastern states. The mother's mean age at first birth in those states is younger (27 years vs. 30 years in West Germany). Now the problem is that unemployment rates are higher in eastern Germany.
