The velocity of USA birth-rate decline oddly mirrors Japan, and this isn’t good

I used Japan and USA demographic statistics to compare the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of each respective country. My findings show that the USA currently mirrors Japan's demographic decline in the 1980s (see the table and graph below). If this continues, we can expect the USA to stagnate. A comparison of Japan & USA's Total Fertility rates; notice the similarities and the rate of decline. Table showing Demographic data comparing two time periods in each country.
