But as these numbers show, many women do not have such a choice. That brings us to the science. Following a significant drop in the birthrate after the 2008 recession, women are continuing to have fewer children. Why hasn’t the rate recovered?
Even though sociologists and economists agree that the economy plays a role. One study even found fertility rates to be a “leading economic indicator” — predicting downturns (and upticks) in advance — while another found the sharp decline in fertility rates to be “not as closely linked to the souring of the economy” that began around 2008.
One reason for the continuing low fertility rates, then, is that the low birth rates seem to be affecting only the non melanated populations globally! meaning those people without dark skinand the Eumelanin protection that offers.Sperm count in men from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand declined by 50-60% between 1973 and 2011 A study from from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Surprisingly, the study, which analyzed data on the sperm counts of 42,935 men, found no decline in sperm counts in men from Asia, Africa and South America! Predominantly Melanated populations!The white world currently is afflicted by widespread infertility and childless communities are left hovering on the brink of collapse. Children of Men and The Handmaid’s Tale once thought to be wholly fiction provide perfect examples of these unsettling narratives.Earlier this year, the World Health Organisation described current knowledge of male infertility as “very low”, a relative ignorance that has since been acknowledged by the UK Medical Research Council, which has issued a call for scientists to put forward projects in the field for funding.“The end of humanity is not approaching,” said Sharpe. “But at the individual level, for affected people, this trend could be tragic. We have no treatments for improving sperm production in infertile men, and we have no idea about what is the cause of the condition. We cannot remedy it. So we are completely hamstrung.”But surprisingly the fact that this is also affecting caucasian women has been downplayed.Unlike women of African descent when a white woman reaches the age of 32 her chances of conceiving start to decrease gradually but significantly until, by 40, they have fallen by half. “This creates a double whammy for fertility in modern western societies,” said Sharpe. “Couples wait until they are over 30 and then find that one or both have reproduction problems.While Africa and Southern India are seeing population booms The rate at which babies are being born in the UK has fallen to its lowest level for a decade.According to data released in July, 28 per cent of live births the UK are to foreign-born women An ONS projection released last month found the UK population is expected to reach 70 million in the next 10 years but 54 per cent of this will be fuelled by external immigration the majority from African nations.About 9% of men and about 11% of women of reproductive age in the United States have experienced fertility problems.According to a Norwegian study solar activity at time of birth predicted infant survival and a caucasian women's fertility! The Norwegian study looked at 8,600 people born between 1676 and 1878. In Singapore, sun intensity and UV radiation peaks from 11am to 3pm. It is common for the index to reach extreme levels during a four-hour period Singapore currently has the lowest fertility rate in the world! Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Josephine Teo on Thursday (Mar 1) revealed that Singapore’s total fertility rate (TFR) dropped to 1.16 in 2017, making it the lowest figure since 1.15 in 2010 and the second lowest ever recorded.New Zealand has naturally high UV levels NZ has seen the lowest recorded levels of births per woman in New Zealand, according to Stats NZ. The country's total fertility rate in 2017 was down to an average of 1.81 births per woman over their lifetime - which is the lowest fertility rate the country has seen.
