Birth & Death Rate Trends

Global birth rates have fallen dramatically from over 37/1000 in 1950 to about 18/1000 today. Meanwhile, death rates have also fallen as medicine improved — from 19/1000 to ~7.6/1000. The gap between births and deaths (natural increase rate) is still positive but narrowing.
