    Apparently the proper term, 'natural decrease ', is much less sensational. It’s all about clicks and views now, not delivering good content.

      Is it natural if it’s bought on by low wages and high prices making it impossible for most to afford a family?

        Those in poverty usually have more children. Woman having more rights and joining the workforce is probably a major cause; which is probably why there’s all this money backing taking away women’s rights recently. Another major cause is likely isolation and lack of community in modern life (“it takes a village…”).
