Almost all of them are trending downward. A few, like Niger, don't keep the greatest records, but seem to be slowly trending downward as well. Feminists are working to educate girls in every country, and that's what's ultimately going to bring the fertility rates down. I don't think capitalism had to undermine the family, or patriarchy. There could've been men working side-by-side with their sons in the factories, rather than being absentee dads. Women could've stayed home with their girls. Supposedly, in our modern economy, kids need to stay in school for years to become prepared for the workforce. But most of the classes are a bunch of fluff. You don't need to read Romeo and Juliet to know how to be a welder. Most of the jobs women do outside the home are nonessential. Imagine if every woman disappeared from the workplace. The top executives, and the technicians, engineers, plumbers, etc. would still be around. HR and certain clerical departments would be wiped out or operating with skeleton crews. But that's mostly a bunch of paper-shuffling anyway. Like I pointed out in the other message, we're not actually increasing our quality of life much by having women in the workforce, because they end up consuming as much as they produce (especially since they tend to not be as productive as men). Once they have their own income, they want to spend resources on a bunch of frivolous stuff, including frivorce. It's more economical to have them stay home and live a relatively thrifty life. Jessy has pointed out that because women insist on working, we have to make up jobs for them to do with their social science degrees, e.g. in the sex offender treatment field.
