This map is also a good indicator of women’s rights – educated women and ’empowered’ women tend to have fewer children than under-educated or disenfranchised counterparts (with some exceptions ofc).
Is there any part in which people started having more kids?

I legit thought the color scale had been changed at first glance because of how dramatic the change is lol
This map gives some hope. It’s the easiest way to reduce energy consumption. Also good for women and kids.
This is wrong right?
Its not fertility rate its birth rate…
Birth rates
Why is it so low for Europe?
That is not fertility. Please stop making ppl dumb n dumber.
Good job, people are getting it
Too expensive and everyone is too busy in Europe to have kids. The powers that be are ok with this though, as their agenda is to reduce our population.
Ah yes, but does this include pregnant men?
I don’t think these stats are all that useful.
Demographics are more fundamentally different in a country with a 1.7 fertility rate vs. 1.2 fertility rate than it is in a country with 5 or 6 fertility rate.
I.e. it would be better to categorize fertility rates as follows:
* <1 – disasterous
* 1-1.5 – bad
* 1.5-2 – okay
* 2-2.5 – sustainable
* 2.5-4 – high, but managable
* >4 – too high
Clearly the aliens neutering the population.
Good
Why are all Yugoslav countries shown differently in the 1970 one even tho they were all together?
Progress, but we need peak population
I think it’s funny how many people don’t get how bad this.
The situation is kind of blue. Well, the overpopulation needs to stop at some point. We keep growing 7 now 8 billion people… rather soon we would be 9 then racing to 10…
The Earth has finite resources.
IN Canada, some province like Québec is under 1.
omg so many comments saying that’s good.. If you think this is good than go do some research!
We’ve hit a snag. This will be solved once technological advancements are made in terms for food, housing and such. Once that is done, we’ll have another boomer generation and reach 10+ billion people.
We are aging
In the 1970s there was a real panic about the threat of global over-population.
The good news is that we seem to be rounding that corner.
In the 1970s there was also a panic that burning fossil fuels was causing global warming.
The bad news is that we seem to be rounding that corner too, but not in a good way.

Thought India dropped below 2.
South Korea is actually 0.8

Malthus was wrong, fortunately. I think [this article](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-malthus-is-still-wrong/) explains it best:
