General observations for Fertility Rate Overlay - What do you observe about your region and any identifiable trends as you go from 1950 to the present? Do you notice any patterns?

My region has been decreasing its birth rate from 1950 to the present.

Explanation:

When starting a research on fertility rates in my region, from 1950 to the present, in records and documents kept in the local library and in the oldest hospital in my city, I was able to notice a progressive decrease as the years passed. This was probably the result of many events that shaped society, such as the entry of women into the increasingly influential labor market, the call for men to war, economic crises, among others. I did an interview with some couples about the reasons that most prevent them from having children and the majority stated that the high cost of living and the difficulties of raising a child in today's society are the most limiting factors.
