Sana and Bill Soliola always wanted a big family, but they never expected to have 10 children and another on the way. "Growing up in Lidcombe in western Sydney, everyone used to have a lot of kids and I'd think how cool it was siblings playing with each other," said 43-year-old Bill, who was one of three children growing up. "Our kids absolutely love having a big family." "You're never alone," added 37-year-old Sana.
"There's always someone there to talk to and have a laugh with, which is a joy." In a world of plunging fertility rates, large families like the Soliolas are becoming a rarity. While the world's population, now at 8.1 billion, continues to grow , most people live in places where family sizes are shrinking from what they were. These trends are particularly pronounced South Korea, which has the world's lowest fertility rate, with an average of 0.72 children per woma
