Yes. But I was speaking just of comparative trends, and even though I cannot
point to some source from the top of my head, I believe to remember that
such rates are both improved in comparison with the past, and better in
comparison with other areas. Or at least their acceleration.

... which, according to the idea of immigration as a necessary resource to
fight demographic decline, would require additional imports of human cattle,

externalisation of the involved social costs by the businesses possibly
employing them.
