In Argentina they used to have a fertility rate of 2,13 in 2016 and 2,47 in 2010, but now it’s 1,16 according to an estimate of 2024.
Fertility rates used to be pretty decent before around 2015 in Argentina 🇦🇷, Chile 🇨🇱, Colombia 🇨🇴, Ecuador 🇪🇨, Uruguay 🇺🇾 and Brazil 🇧🇷 among others. But since the decline is impressive, and fertility rates in Colombia, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina are now between 1,1 and 1,4 while they used to be 2+ 10 years ago.
As a Greek it resembles to me the abrupt decline of birth rate in the eighties due to progresses in society, legislation that removed the discriminatory practices against women and other positive measures to increase equity. However, there is still lots of road for true gender equity.
Why Latin America sees such a rapid decline at birthrates? I guess it’s economic, social, political and other such reasons. Can someone explain why the decline happened so quickly in so much Latam countries?

Are the darker colored provinces the more indigenous areas of Argentina?
The rest of Argentina is going to need to adopt the Misiones’ position.
Just some feedback; I’d round to 1 decimal so your viz isn’t as ‘number busy’. Two decimals doesn’t add any value here
What are the units? 1 per million, per year?
Typical day in San Juan: visit the Difunta or go to the dique, barbeque, and get busy.
So they really do get it up there.
It amazes me that you’ve decided to go with such huge font size.
