I found this article written oddly, as if it were a phenomena that is only affecting the US. Fertility rates have been collapsing world-wide, ever since the 90s if not longer. Yet this article doesn't mention that Europe has had below replacement rates since the 90s, and the rest of the world is having significantly less children per woman than it did back then too.

For each of the specific things it suggests it might be, it would have to be something that is affecting the whole world, maybe at different rates around the world but the whole world nonetheless.

Hans Rosling in one of his videos said we see the birth rate drop when women are educated and have economic opportunities outside the house.
