  1. Looks like the big drop happened in
    the mid 70’s and the 1980’s. 

  2. Fertility rate and birth rate are not the same thing. Just because people aren’t having 2-4 kids doesn’t mean they *can’t*.

    Why have we so many people posting about this recently? Smacks of astroturfing.

    TFR is not a good measure of actual births/fertility because of the way it’s calculated. If demographics are changing, and birth rates are changing differently in different demographics, it gives a very skewed view of actual birth rates. The inclusion of a “replacement level” line on a TFR graph shows a total lack of understanding of what TFR measures by the author.

    What I take away from this is we need more nuns and priest teaching sex ed.

    I’m don’t have a clue in relation to this topic so forgive my ignorance, but surely people whose fertility ability is being tested as people who may be having trouble conceiving?

    Would this not skew the results?
