You’re right, I was thinking east Asia when I said “Asia” and should have been clearer, and it’s more that Japan’s has fallen the slowest

It’s less “Japan’s got higher” than “Japan’s fell the slowest compared to other Asian countries”

Yeah, mostly because they’ve got no more births to reduce lol.

Yea I mentioned in another comment I should have clarified “east Asia” in the original comment. The rest of the southern and western asian continent have much higher birthrates.
