cultural norms That's certainly true - but cultural norms can and do change. As long as there is a proportion of young women who from a young age actively "want" to have children - and several children at that - and "IF" that's a biological urge that is genetic in origin then I think it will eventually sort itself out and all the young women will be having 3-4 children. Of course as (and if) this happens then the cultural norm will also change and those who might not have fancied having children will choose to do so to fit in
