In light of new study, it became evident that fall in German birthrate is due to the attitude of mothers who are unable to keep balance between their work life and family.

The study was conducted by the Federal Institute for Population Research who said that the German women born between 1964 and 1968 mainly don't have children because they are unable to make some compatibility between their careers and family.

The idea of good mother in Germany is in which women remained home to raise children and it has become the reason for working women to not to have children. There are only 10 more countries in Europe with birthrates lower than it. The figure for Germany is 1.39 per woman.

Germany accounts for highest number of women with no children. "This low birthrate has major social significance in the long run because it is one of the main causes of the shrinking and ageing of the population", said the study authors from the institute.

They suggested that mothers are responsible for their children and should not leave them alone just for sake of their careers. They commented on the mentality of mothers of the country calling them "raven mothers" while they choose to give priority to careers than their family.
