I think they live with extended families there and the kids are raised by a crowd of grandparents, aunts, etc in addition to the parents. One of my brothers became a father a week before he turned 16. We Scandinavians go for it early compared to the rest of the world apparently. I think Iceland has the lowest average age for the loss of virginity in the world at around 15.3 years. My parents also started having children very early and they also ended having them (us!) very late so we have an uncle who is younger than his nephew in the family, ha ha.
