If the present birth rate continues in the coming months, 60,000 babies could be born in Finland this year – the greatest number since 1996.
Last year there were 57,745 live births in Finland, and the birth rate has remained at about the same level over a period of ten years.
Experts say that it is difficult to give any specific reasons for this miniature baby boom. One basic rule has been that numerically small generations give birth to small generations. When the children of the 1970s reached child-bearing age, they ended up having fairly few children themselves.
