Can Family Policies Affect Fertility Behavior?

Low fertility is an issue that many countries, including most of Europe, North America, and Confucian regions, have been facing for decades. In response to low fertility rates, many regions have implemented pro-natal family policies to encourage population growth. The impact varied: family policies can affect most Western countries and have less effect on Confucian regions. This difference stems from the significant pressure faced by young individuals in Confucian regions due to rapid industrialization. Consequently, regions influenced by Confucianism need to adopt more complex strategies to combat declining birth rates.
