Birth dearth
Neologism referring to falling fertility rates
Birth dearth was coined by Ben J. Wattenberg in his 1987 book "Birth dearth". This term refers to the declining fertility rates observed in many modern industrialized nations. It is often cited as a response to overpopulation and is not incompatible with it. Countries and geographic regions that are currently experiencing declining populations include Europe, Russia, South Korea, and Spain. Populations of people of these descents in other countries, such as the United States, are also being impacted.
