You would think birthrate is high, but mortality rate is also high.

But it could be much worse than that. Birthrate is low (stillborn, or complications and mother dies), and mortality is still high.


But anyway, free healthcare here we come.

The Japanese text says 出生率は…ずっと低い “the birthrate is much lower” so the translation most likely is accurate. The manga later explains that child mortality in this world is very high, which sounds contradictory from a real-world demographic perspective, so i believe It’s a fantasy worldbuilding choice

So, it's a case of the mangaka not having done his homework on the topic?
