Over half of the world’s economies, accounting for two-thirds of the global population, now have fertility rates below the replacement fertility level of 2.1 children per woman.

Good morning.

Not a very relevant xy comparison though. It would be more informafive to see the top 2/3rds of countries by population size vs birthrate.

So the headline would end up being 'the top 2/3rds of the biggest countries in the world by population have a birthrate below replacement levels' for example. I suspect that's not the case as global pop is going up, but it would certaknly be more relevant.

Further posing the relevant sub question: is the check valve on reproduction natural or artificial, a product of fiat uncertainty?
