[单项选择] Russian president Vladimir Putin has inadvertently (不注意地) spotlighted one of today’’s momentous mysteries: collapsing birthrates in industrialized countries. Putin proposed that Russia pay women to have children to remedy a "critical" population outlook. Actually, he might have said "desperate." In 2000, Russia’’s population totaled almost 147 million. Russia’’s case, though extreme, isn’’t isolated. There’’s no more population "explosion." In wealthier countries, motherhood is going out of style and plunging birthrates portend population loss. One way or another, the side effects will be massive for economics, politics and people’’s well being. Indeed, they may already have started. Is it a coincidence that Germany and Italy, two countries on the edge of population decline, are so troubled First, some facts. On average, women must have two children for a society to replace itself. The actual number of children per woman is called the "total fertility rate," or TFR. Here
A. should pay women money to have children
B. should stop its process of urbanization
C. should not establish a generous welfare system
D. should impose high taxes
