[00:00.000]This is Malcolm Brabant in Denmark,
[00:01.000]where a group of nursery workers have made the children's parents an offer that's hard to refuse,
[00:07.000]"We'll look after your children for an extra two hours for free, so that you can go to bed and make more babies."
[00:14.000]This once-off service is designed to draw attention to the dwindling number of births and to do something about it.
[00:21.000]In terms of birth rate, Denmark languishes at number 185 out of 221 countries in the world.
[00:28.000]If the increasingly older population continues to expand,
[00:31.000]Denmark will not be able to support pensioners and others dependent on state benefits.
[00:36.000]The nurseries offering free babysitting are in the district of North Fyn, to the west of Copenhagen,
[00:42.000]where 200 fewer babies were born last year.
[00:45.000]Dorthe Nyman, the head of the Grasshopper nursery, described it as a serious problem.
[00:51.000]50% of parents have accepted their offer,
[00:53.000]but there'll be no time for a romantic dinner and slow seduction because couples only have two hours to perform in the national interest.
[01:01.999]Ms Nyman said if their offer was successful, they'd be happy to do it all over again.
