Women's access to education worldwide has led to a lower TFR. Women who are educated, are more likely to have children later on in their lives, due to work, and career goals; lowering the amount of children they will have. Another factor decreasing TFR worldwide is the increase in access to healthcare worldwide. Access to healthcare leads to a lower infant mortality rate, which means fewer women will have babies to replace the ones they lost.
Curious about the infant mortality / TFR graph comparison and the question asked at the beginning of the video. The decrease in infant mortality only shows the decline from 1990 which could correlate the a decrease in TFR from roughly 3.2 to 2.5. Can we draw any conclusion about the more dramatic decline in TFR from roughly 5 to 3.2 that occurred from between 1960 & 1990? Is there another infant mortality graph that we could see that has data from that period? One obvious historical event - the introduction of the birth control pill - seems like it would have some explanatory power. Also, I wonder if/how abortion legislation that occurred in the late 60's affected TFR.
TFR controls the population of a nation so the TFR would give the corresponding population pyramid and from there you can conclude the impact on GDP, higher post reprod population would be a developed nation with high life expectancy but struggle economically as the tax base has shrunk and the working population has decreased

Thank you for the explanation! Could I ask you how the TFR could affect the GDP of a nation ? Thank you
