📉 📉 Fertility declines are all over the news. It's tempting—and easy—to take a bold headline at face value, but our MO is to turn to the DATA. On #WorldPopulationDay, what does the #data tell us about #fertility around the world? 🧵

1️⃣ LOWER FERTILITY IS COMMON: Nearly 2/3 of the world’s population now live in countries with below-replacement fertility. Over half the countries in the world fall into this category, including many in Europe, North America & East Asia—and also many in Latin America & Asia. 🧵

2️⃣ TRENDS HIDE VARIABILITY: Fertility declines over the last 50 yrs are dramatic. But Africa still has 4.1 children per woman on average—& wide country-level variation (1.2 in Mauritius to 6 in Chad). Even in Asia & the Americas—with low average fertility—variability remains.🧵

3️⃣ AFRICA IS KEEPING THE WORLD YOUNG: The green pyramid shows the age distribution of today's global population WITHOUT #Africa. In this scenario, the global #population right now already looks like the 2050 projection (blue pyramid)—with more older people & fewer kids.🧵
