Is the German population really dwindling?

On one hand China has this strict one child policy to keep check of the population explosion and on the other hand, the German govt. is giving incentives to its people to have more children - This article brings up issues about balancing work and family life for women, gender equality in germany etc. etc. I was surprised to see that men and women were not treated so much as equals in germany!

  • well women could still strike a balance between working and being at home... you could be at home when the children are small and lay a solid foundation so that the child grows up to become a better human being which leads to a better society and then go back to being a working mom.... however, i think that this might be easier for moms in professions other than IT... if you are in IT and if you come back from maternity leave (which is only about 3 months I think) or come back after a few years, I think you will feel all lost... the technology would have advanced so much that you will feel way behind and unable to catch up... it will be hard to find a new job and start all over again.... but thats just my view... anyway, how about guys also playing a role in 'investing' time in the future society as well?.. coz if that happens, then it might not be too hard for the moms! :)
