Rapidly changing fertility rates and demographics in Brazil and the rest of Latin America
01/20/2010
Brazil's fertility rate has dropped from 6.1 children per woman in 1960 to less than 1.9 in 2010. The U.S. is at 2.0, which is enough to keep the population stable. The change is visible throughout Latin America, from Chile and Mexico to Ecuador. The fertility rate in Latin America has dropped from about 6 children per woman in 1960 to 2.3 in 2010. Causes given by experts are the migration to urban areas, the changes in lifestyles, the influence of television and soap operas showing smaller affluent families, better health care, education and career choices for women. What is exceptional about Brazil is that this is happening in poor and affluent areas alike, in rural and urban areas alike.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
