Dude...America is totally into kids.

The suburban dream is to have your wife be a full-time mom, be a "soccer
mom" who drops kids off at school in a minivan, have 3 kids, a house, a
weekend cottage and one exotic vacation every year. Most of the senior
executives around here have at least 3 kids, sometimes 4 or 5 kids. But
then you're so tired managing the home life you end up not having time for
sex. According to a recent survey regular "enthusiastic" sex is good for
the heart, prevents aging, keeps the body fit. Is that your secret?

We're stopping at 2 kids (mainly because Sanchita said no more). Back in
India the population is high and the current generation has 1 kid;
I prefer 2. This is America!!

There was a Wall Street Journal article that America is diverting from
other industrialized countries because of the birth rate. In Europe,
Japan, Singapore, Russia and even China, the birth rate is dropping. In
30-40 years there will be more retirees than working-age people. Europeans
say that's good because this will result in more automation and higher
productivity. America's economy on the other hand will have relatively
cheap labor due to immigration. I personally have benefited from having
nannies for our daughters from the Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania and
India over the past 5 years. By the way we now have a maid service (which
is also not that expensive) from Colombia, Dominican Republic and Brazil.
The irony is the US has the highest productivity despite being the third
most populated country in the world.

Japan when viewed from the US media is adapting rapidly to the graying
population in terms of innovative new products for senior citizens; but
the challenge is will Japan be able to sustain its economic recovery
especially to stay ahead of (worrisome) China.
