A global baby bust is giving birth to crisis. For a nation to sustain itself its fertility rate must be 2.1 babies per woman. The U.S. fertility rate is 1.8, East Asia’s is 1.7, and Western Europe’s is 1.6. Fewer babies mean an aging population resulting in a demographic cliff. As the population ages, the
