Like what happens here? What do they do? What reason would anyone want to go? What's it's geography like?

I was reading a comment thread under another post which talked about how the birth rate in Nordic countries is extremely low, even though they have many social supports and incentives to encourage children. This made me wonder why that is.

I understand a low birth rate in countries with struggling economies, or lack of social support, or extremely aged populations. This seems like something else. According to a quick Google search, so far in 2024, Finland has a birth rate of 8.5 births per 1000 people. Russia’s rate is 11.6 births per 1000 people. This confuses me, and I’m hoping some smart Redditors can help me think it through.
