Sweden is still below replacement rate, though. I think the reality is that having kids is still expensive, and lacking cultural pressure, people look at the utilitarian aspects more when considering whether to have kids. It's obviously far from the only factor, but compromising standard of living or retirement savings or what have you does factor in.
