English

Subject field(s)
  • Birth Rate
DEF

A sudden decline in the birth rate.

CONT

The aging of the U.S. population is partly a result of the "baby bust" of the 1970's. Very low levels of fertility persisted during 1977, but the rates have begun to climb slightly.

OBS

1972, patterned on its antonym BABY BOOM.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Natalité
DEF

Baisse de natalité.

CONT

On a donc des raisons de penser que la contraception fait des progrès au Japon; mais il est significatif que, dans un premier temps, il aura fallu quinze à vingt millions d'avortements pour amener l'effondrement souhaité de la natalité.
