Family solidarity, gender equality, and fertility

Secular trends in social dynamics, as well as deliberate governmental policies, affect the three interacting dimensions of family solidarity, gender equality, and fertility.

1. Non-interventionist models don't try to affect much of any of these, but to the extent that they want to affect one of them, they try to do so without affecting the others. To the extent that they do affect fertility, it is through means-tested welfare state policies. The prototypes here are the UK and the US.
2. Conservative traditional models try to promote family solidarity and fertility together, for instance, by encouraging early marriage, and supporting/encouraging single earners for large families. However, industrialization, urbanization, and modernization in general seem to make this model not work. Explicitly, to the extent that the models work in increasing family solidarity, they may have no effect on fertility or even reduce fertility. The prototypes here are Germany and Singapore.
3. Mixed traditional/modern gender-egalitarian models try to promote gender equality and fertility together, albeit still within a context resembling the traditional family: they try to make life easier for working mothers. The prototype here is France.
4. Non-traditional gender-egalitarian models try to promote gender equality, fertility, and child-centeredness. The idea here is to be agnostic about family structure. Rights and government privileges are attached to children directly, not to their parents, and inhere independent of the family structure. The prototype for this is Sweden.
