According to the paper below several factors
modulate (in OECD countries) the birth rate.
It seems that the introduction of pills
is not (?) the most important.
There are many different economical factors
and many social-sociological poisons too.
It is perhaps interesting to point out the
difference (see figure on page 1 of the paper)
between the trends in Southern Europe (esp. Italy)
and the trends in Northern Europe (and US).
