Is Bolivia’s total fertility rate below the U.S. rate? In a new data release, the National Institute of Statistics of Bolivia reports the country’s total fertility rate at 1.56 in 2026. The U.S. will be around 1.57. This is NOT my estimate. I am just copying and pasting a table from nimbus.ine.gob.bo/index.php/… (Appendix 1, page 68). Can I say it again? This is the official data. If I had been told 10 years ago that, by 2026, Bolivia’s total fertility rate would be below the U.S. rate, I would not have believed it. I would have happily bet $1 against $1 million that it would not happen. In fact, I look at the table, and I still need to pinch myself. Bolivia was around 6.5 in the mid-1980s and around 3 in 2010 or so. I don’t know. Sometimes I wish I were a better writer, so I could express what I am feeling right now. More than anything, the sense that ten years ago I missed a fundamental change in humanity. What else can I be missing now? Thanks to @LibCarlos for the link and the information..
