If you assume a developed country, you have an attractive place to live for many people from other badly developed countries. So you can simply import them.

They're certainly higher than German-born newborns. If you can afford to educate a child from birth, you can certainly afford to train adults.

I think he means there's a difference between births arising from couples in love, as opposed to births arising either by accident or from couples bound by other arrangments forced out of motives of survival, hence the qualifier being a "lover's birth rate."

As for quantifying which births are "lover's" births, and which are not, well... good luck with that.

Well, to be honest I thought you meant "lower" birth rate. I've never heard of the concept of "lover birth" rate before.

Lower is what I meant, it was a typo. And that is not what I'm referring to in my parent comment, which is still valid.
