Botswana: from 6.16 to 4.37 children per woman in just 10 years
From 1981 to 1991 the number of children per woman fell faster than in any other decade since 1950. Around that period: urban share 15.8% → 45.5% (1981–1991); life expectancy 63 years → 58.9 years (1981–1991). This does not establish a cause.
