Good idea. Finland has an extremely low total fertility rate (the number of kids the average woman ends up with) of 1.3. That’s scraping the bottom of the demographic barrel.
Replacement is 2.1. But the Finnish population is healthy and no reason the older dudes can’t do it. Though Finland might consider immigration or upping their birth rate at least a little.
