Does hot weather affect human fertility? : hot weather can worsen reproductive health and decrease later birth rates
Barreca, Alan I. - 2017
Research finds that hot weather causes a fall in birth rates nine months later. Evidence suggests that this decline in births is due to hot weather harming reproductive health around the time of conception. Birth rates only partially rebound after the initial decline. Moreover, the rebound...
