The article discusses the countries where birth rates are falling and low, but the title is misleading. There are many countries with very high birth rates [1]. Strictly speaking they are "falling", but they're a long way from an under-population crisis. E.g. Ethiopia grew from 73M in 2007, to 135M in 2025, and has a 3.8 fertility rate. Sub-Saharan Africa as a whole has a 4.3 fertility rate [2] and 1.1B people [3].
