Overview: Der "Wert von Kindern" als Bindeglied auf der AkteursebeneTrotz deutlicher Niveauunterschiede zeichnet sich weltweit eine Tendenz rü- läufiger Geburtenraten ab. Der allgemeine Geburtenrückgang ist keineswegs ein Phänomen der letzten Jahrzehnte: Soweit die historischen Quellen hierzu A- sagen zulassen, setzte er Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts in Großbritannien und Frankreich ein und ergriff nach und nach weitere europäische Länder, die in den Prozess der Industrialisierung eintraten. Bis dahin waren hohe Geburtenraten, gleichzeitig aber auch eine hohe Sterblichkeit verbreitet, weshalb sic
