   Netherlands, 2012–2022: first, second and later birth rates all fell

   Per woman at that period's rates: first births 0.80 → 0.69, second 0.63 → 0.53, third and later 0.29 → 0.27; total 1.72 → 1.49. First children now come later (at 30.3 instead of 29.3). These series cannot separate postponement from births that will never occur.
