This map, created by Miguel García, shows European opinion on the duty to have children, according to data from the World Values Survey, drawn from surveys conducted between 2017 and 2022.
The map groups all respondents who agreed or strongly agreed with the statement that having children is a duty to society. At the top are Bulgaria (82.7 %), Georgia (73.7 %), Azerbaijan (59.7 %), Cyprus (54.8 %) and Belarus (50.2 %). At the opposite end of the scale are the Netherlands (3.3 %), Sweden (8.2 %), Iceland (10.2 %), the United Kingdom (12.4 %) and Finland (13.5 %). There is a clear pattern: much higher percentages in Eastern Europe and much lower in Northern Europe.
It is worth noting that this map measures stated attitudes in the World Values Survey survey responses, not actual behaviour. Countries with the highest agreement towards the social obligation to have children are not necessarily those with the highest birth rates, as this map shows. fertility rate map of Europe.
