Europe's crisis is worse than it looks. As if the continent's troubled financial markets and economy were not a big enough burden, a decade-long (and largely unnoticed) improvement in its fertility rate seems to have come to an abrupt end. Of the 15 countries that have reported figures so far this year, 11 saw falls in their fertility rates in 2011 (the fertility rate is the number of children a woman can expect during her lifetime). Some of the biggest declines occurred in countries hardest-hit by the euro crisis. In the markets, three years is an age; in demography, it is the blink of an eye. Nine months at least must pass between an event and a corresponding change in the birth rate. In most countries with large populations of untethered migrants, a recession-induced reversal of migration has cut fertility.
