No, the numbers I referred to are percentages. The decline in birthrates doesn't factor in.

The biggest drops in fertility around 2007 were among teenage moms, hence fewer unwanted children / poverty. How is it immaterial regardless of pct or raw numbers? My point is that there's not a robust mechanism moving people out of working class to middle/upper.
