  Is it possible to reverse the low total fertility rate (TFR) in the developed
world? Using a hypothetical model of population we have analysed the decline of
the TFR which have took place in the background of ongoing global economic
changes, and a liberalization process after the end of the Cold War. These
phenomena have affected more than 110 millions of inhabitants of Central Europe
and the Baltics and approximately 80 millions of inhabitants in Germany. The
model has features of complex and evolving system of interacting individuals,
and it enables to investigate a broad spectrum of input factors on individual
decisions to limit the offspring. In the case of the TFR <1.5, our initial
analysis show a need of radical changes of the global economy that will
stimulate series of self-regulations of demographic processes and evolution
toward the safe TFR>2.1. The changes should stimulate more uniform spatial
distribution of wealth, capital and usage. They will increase a number of
self-sufficient and cooperative territories, to decrease the income inequality,
to decrease labour and social mobilities. Societies should investigate the
impacts of economic regulations and actions on the TFR trends in advance and
take into account a biological nature of women more responsible.
