Its not going down everywhere. Its going down in some places.

The basic result is that when women have a choice they tend to choose 
to have less babies. Wow. Something the demographers could never see 
coming when they predicted the population explosion. I wonder what 
other obvious points they are now missing in the predicted population 
implosion?
