Birth rate
The birth rate in Western nations has been in decline for decades. I first read about this around the age of 12 and was fascinated by it.
Japan
Japan recorded a sub-replacement fertility rate of only 1.42 total fertility in 2014, down from a high of 1.84 in the mid 1980s. Many blame this drastic fall on the rise of herbivore men in Japan. The decline in birth rate has been attributed to the herbivore men's reluctance to marry.[1][2]
