      Interesting result. This highlights that things were generally stable until about ~2009. After that, every single country here tilts downward.

      My guess is that it’s the 2008 Financial Crisis and the Great Recession afterwards that instigated this slide. Of course, there are underlying causes fueling the drop in fertility, but that crisis is likely the proximate cause.

      I feel like „fertility rate“ is a misnomer.

      The number of children that are born does not = the fertility of the population.

      Lots of people are perfectly fertile but choose not to have children.

      Not making that your problem, OP, just having a gripe 🙃

      Edit: also, Ireland be fuckin‘ in early 2020!

      does this count adoption/ artificial insemination and exclude surrogate motherhood?

    4. Nigeria looking at that phrase ‚main English -speaking‘ thinking „what did we do wrong?“
