The German birth rate in Kazakstan is impressing. Kazakstani ethnic Germans have 3 times the birth rate of the German ethnic Germans. Imagine if Germany proper had the same birth rate!No it was also because the Germans was more urban than the Kazakhs, the fact that they have the same birt rate today, are a result of the German population have become more rural as the urban population have emigrated to Germany, and that the Germans have simply upkept their pre-1989 birth rate.
