Which country has the lowest birthrate in the world and in history?
Answer - Taiwan with a birth rate of 1.05 children per woman (7.04 in 1951).
It is so frightening obvious to a teacher in a middle school (I guess, secondary level).
Five years ago, she was teaching a class of 28 students. Now she is teaching a class of only 20.
The declining birth rate has caused some teachers to leave their job.
Moral of the story - Teaching profession is also no longer an iron rice bowl. Hmm.. Edgar now see a threat to his alternative profession of being an educator.
