Somewhere there are probably figures on this, but my impression is that 
during the present century people have been inventing new "National ___ Day"s at an alarming rate.

Country	Birth Rate (CIA Factbook) ------ the LOWEST are:
               South Korea	6.95
                    Italy	7
                    Spain	7.12
                    Taiwan	7.33


                    The lowest rate in 2022 was reported from Finland, 1.32 children. This is also the lowest Finnish birth rate since monitoring started in the year 1776

                -----------  Finland makes an interesting case with regard to fertility for two puzzling reasons.       Firstly, fertility is declining in a country known for its high degree of gender equality and extensive policies to support reconciliation between work and family life, both of which have been theorized to support fertility.
   
   
nothing puzzling about it...  Bach had 20 children,  at the time of  K K K (Kinder, Küche, Kirche)
