Căn cứ vào thông tin đoạn 2:
Population aging is driven by declines in fertility and improvements in health and longevity. In more developed countries, falling fertility beginning in the early 1900’s has resulted in current levels being below the population replacement rate of two live births per woman. Perhaps the most surprising demographic development of the past 20 years has been the pace of fertility decline in many less developed countries. In 2006, for example, the total fertility rate was at or below the replacement rate in 44 less developed countries.
(Già hóa dân số được thúc đẩy bởi sự suy giảm khả năng sinh sản và cải thiện sức khỏe và tuổi thọ. Ở các nước phát triển hơn, mức sinh sản giảm bắt đầu từ đầu những năm 1900 đã dẫn đến mức hiện tại thấp hơn tỷ lệ thay thế dân số của hai lần sinh sống trên mỗi phụ nữ. Có lẽ sự phát triển nhân khẩu học đáng ngạc nhiên nhất trong 20 năm qua là tốc độ giảm sinh ở nhiều nước kém phát triển. Ví dụ, năm 2006, tổng tỷ suất sinh bằng hoặc thấp hơn tỷ lệ thay thế ở 44 quốc gia kém phát triển.)
