“Fertility rate drops” suggests that people are becoming less fertile.
The article itself says that people are taking measures to have fewer children due to cost, the economy, the political landscape, etc.
Infertility is not the same as choosing not to have children.
“Polling in recent years has indicated that the number of adults who never want to have children has grown, and that men and women plan to have fewer children than previous generations.”
I agree and it’s going to be a common trend when capitalism makes it impossible to take care of children when cost of living rises and wages stay the exact same.
Yep. Need a fresh supply of peasants to work to death while the Epstein class sips their champagne on yachts. Not to mention children will keep the poor poor and unable to protest less they risk their jobs and healthcare.
The article is not talking about infertility - it’s talking about fertility rate which are different thing.
The total fertility rate (TFR) of a population is the average number of children that are born to a woman over her lifetime, if they were to experience the exact current age-specific fertility rates (ASFRs) through their lifetime, and they were to live from birth until the end of their reproductive life.
Yes but the headline may be using specific terms that the people who study this understand rather than actually doing what headlines are supposed to do which is convey understanding to normal regular everyday people which is my point. The title of a news article isn’t for scientists. It’s for normies.

What do you mean “going to be”? We’re already there.
