'Remarkable' decline in fertility rates

There has been a remarkable global decline in the number of children women are having, say researchers.

Their report found fertility rate falls meant nearly half of countries were now facing a "baby bust" - meaning there are insufficient children to maintain their population size.

The researchers said the findings were a "huge surprise".

And there would be profound consequences for societies with "more grandparents than grandchildren".

    Whaaa, whaaa. Quit your whinging and man up. You sound weak and pathetic to me. Real men don't cry, they suck it up and get it done. Aren't there any real men left in the world?

    There are absolutely no real men here. The sting of truth makes the crybabies bury your comment.

    This is why men are dying in Australia. They have sucked it up. They are outwardly showing to the world that they are strong. They are getting the job done.
    Until they can't.
    Then they die, usually by their own hand.
