>Whatever changed in the 70s ok just eyeballing this chart, it seems there's - long decline caused (most likely) by improved child survival rate - at 1940 we're at modern replacement rate just above 2 - postwar boom is an abberation (?) - a notable dip 1975–1995, sure, but >>pic.twitter.com/jveVOwwhgU
