One of the most underappreciated facts about the last half of the 20th century was the global decline in fertility rates. In 1950, the average woman had around 5 children.
Today it’s less than 2.5. The implication is that women’s fertility rates can fall rapidly; it took 95 years in the UK for the fertility rate to fall from 6 to 3 children per woman (from 1815 to 1910), yet only 20 years in Bangladesh (1982 to 2002).

It is also all the exogenus estrogen in the water/packaging and plastic leeching into water , coupled with the fact that normal male testosterone levels have been getting lowered by the medical profession. ie - it used to be 900 per n/l and now normal is 400 per n/l , and doctors are not very keen to prescribe anything to sort out male test production for fear of creating roided out murderers.(completely based in fiction)
 
Fertility is going to fall off a cliff in the next 10 years - it is going to be way below replacement rate in first world countries.

In 100 years from now, people speaking one of Russian, Arabic or Chinese will be discussing the fall of Western civilisation.

In the past, the only "job" women had was to have babies and be a wife. She has other options now - so there is no need for her hormones/fertility to remain as high. Many women don't even want children or to get married. This is evolution.
 
If this is happening to people one has to wonder what is happening to other species reproduction rates.

Good news for a change.

Global decline in children will force us to rethink our current models of life , economics, industry, social structures and our roles within society.
Change is overdue.

Mostly affects westernised countries , africa and asia are not slowing down at the same rate and indeed they wont because of less exposure to chems and other factors , it will not create a utopia but it will create more poverty as seen by the millions of "refugees" attempting to get into westernised countries.

Africa i would agree , however Asia ? A list of 190 countries , we have Taiwan , Japan, South Korea , Thailand and China all in the lower 40 countries.

Asia specific https://www.indexmundi.com/map/?t=0&v=31&r=as&l=en

Asia is slowing down, simply not at the same rate as Western Europe.
 
People had 10 kids back then because half used to die either at birth or as infants.

Looking at my family tree it's sad what they went through in those days, losing babies so often.
