That's for each child. I worked with a guy who had 5 kids and with sick leave and holidays he worked <6mo a year for 7 years straight and when he did turn up he was too tired and uninterested to do anything useful.
Its a good reason why Europe is disappearing as a economic force. OTOH The other reason is not enough children so maybe my coworker ended up helping the economy.

- Swenrekcah 6y agoHaving more than 2 kids as a couple is actually pretty rare. Kids/woman ratio is way under 2 everywhere in Europe [0]. So this is just nonsense. 0: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Fertility_statistics https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...
- Aeolun 6y agoHis coworker certainly did have 5 kids, regardless of what the average birth rate is.
- confidantlake 6y agoI interpreted the "this", in "this is nonsense", to refer to the claim that excess leave from having 5 kids is causing economic decline in Europe. I don't think he was claiming that someone in Europe having 5 kids was nonsense.
