Good, overpopulation is a major problem. Happy to see this trajectory. Eventually with the rise of robots, people will have kids for the right reasons, not labor, retirement, or genes.

So it’s a race to the bottom? If the trend continues this would mean that the country that attracts the best immigrants will be the most successful in the future

This isn’t the “birth rate” being illustrated here but the fertility rate.
The birth rate is expressed in births per 1000, and fertility rate is expressed in child/woman.
