[Hetrosexuals don't bother to marry in Sweden. Out-of-wedlock births are the norm. They scoff at us silly Christian Americans for continuing to support marriage and opposing homosexuality.]
Many Swedes say 'I don't' to nuptials Unions: A moral issue in America, marriage has no special appeal for some Swedish couples - gay or straight.
"Why is there such a gut-level reaction against gay marriage in America? Because this is a very religious country,' he says. 'Nine of the 13 original colonies had chosen to favor a Christian religion. You don't have that in the European countries."

According to the CIA Factbook for Sweden:
9.71 births/1,000 population (2003 est.) 10.58 deaths/1,000 population (2003 est.) If not for non-swedish immigrants, the birthrate would be lower. And, the birthrate of Swedes continues to drop.
The Swedes are commiting suicide, as is the whole white race.

Seems like the Swedes are just farther along the road than other white countries. In any case, I fear the solution requires undoing the destructive liberal attitudes and practices which have become the norm in the past 50 years. But this would be unacceptible to most people, even including many in the pro-white movement.
To reverse the low birthrate, I am convinced the only real solution would involve a total rooting out of feminism and a return of women to homemaking and having babies. This seems unlikely on the scale necessary to reverse the situation.

Catastrophic economic reversals can change all this. A whole raft of dumb ideas have been adapted in "advanced democracies" since World War II because policies are adapted and propagandized by people who do not bear the consequences for them.
Racial suicide for the (relatively) wealthy West has been a lot like free fall from about 20,000 feet. For what seemed like a long time, the ground was a long way down there...
...Not anymore! It's the newest generations that will have to deal with the consequences. The surface gets closer. What was easy for a "greatest generation" grandpa to shrug off is not the same for everyone who has come since.
Dropping incomes didn't bother them, they were retired. Immigrants didn't bother them, they liked the cheap help. America's wealth was skewed in the direction of retirement homes, not young marrieds. It was the same in Sweden and sure, they started earlier than us. Swedish state pensions were once the envy of the world.
Generous pensions literally rob the cradle. Centuries of no state pensions created extended families that watched out for each other. When the economy tanks, we'll just have to start over.

It's certainly high, but in today's world, not that unusual. And its not just a Scandanavian/European problem. I know some Latin American countries have similar rates if I'm not mistaken.
Also note in Sweden the gov't has made a conscious effort to recognize cohabitation, elevating it to a quasi-marital status legally. This naturally cuts down on the marriage rate.
