European declining birth rates

European women are having fewer children. Why? This article offers several reasons and explains in more detail. But these numbers were surpring to me (these are average number of children per woman):

Ireland: 1.99, France: 1.90, Norway: 1.81, Sweden 1.75, UK: 1.74, Netherlands: 1.73, Germany: 1.37, Italy: 1.33, Spain: 1.32, Greece: 1.29

I don't know what the average is in the USA, but I wonder if the reasons given in Europe would also apply here. Those numbers suggest a declining and older population.
