Is There a Recession in Fertility?

Fertility, and its really being driven by a plummeting of birth rates. Since two thousand seven, births fell after the great recession. So i don't think this is going to be easy to turn around. Lots of other countries have taken direct steps to try an incentivize people to have more kids. There's a lot of countries that have experimented with baby bonuses. A few thousand dollars, birthrates go up a little bit in the following year but nothing like the 20 % increase in fertility we would need to get back to replace lovell nless.
