1957??
According to this [site](https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/jpn/japan/fertility-rate), the last time Japan was 2 was 1975
Edit: Oh I see, the title meant 3 or above
More!
More or less fits the rapid development phase timing:
Japan : 1957
Hong Kong : 1971-1980
Russia, South Korea and Taiwan : 1981-1990
Mainland China : 1991-2000
Southeast Asian and South Asian countries mostly in 2011-2026
Japan is 1975 not 1957
And Bangladesh is above 2.0.
In fact, if somehow increased between 2019 and 2023 from 2.3 to 2.4.
What’s with all these posts on fertility rates these days? It’s kind of weird
