UK birth rate plummets

[Vinty]

Population decline is happening because not enough kids are being born to replace the people who are dying .
The fertility rate in the UK is at it lowest on record, it takes two people to produce a child, if the replacement rate is 1.5 then the population begins to shrink.
Without the mass immigration of recent years , the population of the have been in decline.

While the West is in population decline, population growth in Africa is soaring.
One part of the world doesn't have enough children , while the other part of the world has too many children.
The solution is obvious but unacceptable.

Fertility​

Fertility in colloquial terms refers the ability to have offspring. In demographic contexts, fertility refers to the actual production of offspring, rather than the physical capability to reproduce, which is termed fecundity. The fertility rate is the average number of children born during an individual's lifetime. In medicine, fertility refers to the ability to have children, and infertility refers to difficulty in reproducing naturally. Wikipedia
