Chile's total fertility rate has plummeted 42% over the past decade as rapid economic and social shifts spur women to delay or forgo motherhood. The drop outpaces the decline seen in many wealthier countries, leaving the South American country's fertility rate below Japan's. on.ft.com/421KObA

Chile's plunging birth rate may foreshadow future in U.S.
Chilean families are having only one child on average. U.S. birthrates are also dropping but it's unclear whether the U.S. will follow into the growing group of "very low" birthrate countries.
