Demographers have been very surprised that total fertility rates have fallen below 2.0, especially because most people in most countries tell pollsters that they would like to have at least two children. Can you think of any possible economic factors that may be causing women in so many countries to average fewer than two children per lifetime? What about other social or political changes?
Perfect labor mobility would tend to equalize real wage rates in participating countries. In reality, complete wage equalization does not occur. Why? In addition, if stringent restrictions are imposed on migration, what will happen to capital in high wage countries?   
Latin American and Caribbean citizens who migrate to the United States earn salaries there that are higher than what they were earning at home. Since the migrants have the same skills as when they lived in Jamaica, why are they apparently more productive in their new country?
