“The challenge is that no single cause can be identified for the declining birthrate,” Iwasawa said.
Really? Most people online have identified it.
It’s that pixelization isn’t it

One crazy side effect of that pixelation is the scale of Qanon today. Jim Watkins made his fortune selling access to overseas-hosted Japanese pornography without censorship.

Because the majority of people not having babies don’t plan to have babies, and the majority of people who want babies still manage to have them, though it might take more attempts than it used to, or IVF assistance. The desire and cultural influences are much bigger factors at the moment on birth rate than endocrine disruptors.
(Though they’re probably responsible for a bunch of other stuff, like the obesity epidemic)

Sorry to hear that. What were their age ranges? It’s well known that age is the biggest influence in miscarriage chance.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not debating that endocrine disruptors interfere with the reproductive process. I just don’t think anybody has proven that they’re a major issue YET
