[Opinions on ideal number of children in selected European countries].
"Comparison of the opinions of 14 European countries' population on ideal number of children in the family recorded...in 1994...[shows] a considerable homogeneity of European countries, especially that of the young generation.... The [comparison indicated]...differences among individual countries, which issued from their own cultural and religious traditions. It was confirmed that...young Europeans share...the opinion that the childless life is not empty and dull and that the parents...need not try to keep the family together with respect to their children. This fact indicates, together with a low attractiveness of the institution of marriage, [continuation] of a low fertility level even in the future." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
