Comment on Fertility rate falls to lowest globally

  No.

  People keep having sex even in bad conditions. In the absence of contraceptives, that leads to pregnancies.

  Contraceptive availability globally is higher than ever, which has enabled people to choose to not have children, without giving up sex.

  People kept having kids even in bad conditions.

  Generally due to a lack of education, birth control, and bodily autonomy. Now that that’s available, kids are way too expensive to have. I say that as a parent myself.

  When they are hopeless and in wars, people still have kids, but that's if you're uneducated. Education has a huge impact on fertility and you can't provide nothing or little to an educated populace and expect them to have kids.
