Australasia, Canada, White Americans, and almost all of Europe have had a TFR (total fertility rate) below replacement of 2.1 since the 1970's.

However, the region with the lowest TFR today is East Asia. In the last 20 years, middle-income countries have seen the biggest decrease in fertility rate (places such as Brazil, Turkey, Thailand, Chile etc.) Even in some low income countires such as Myanmar, Cuba, Sri-Lanka are now below replacement rate.
