Yes, there are too many variables. One, after WWII, lot of people got married and had babies, food, safety net. Two, during power outs, lots of couples made love back a few decades ago when technology was not at it's best as today, and ended up having babies. Three, pandemics, like Covid-19 took away some lives, as did war in some countries. Four, medical research prolonged some lives, as in the past it didn't because the research was not there. Too many variables. I, like you, would like to put it into some kind of statistic, or whatever you call it. I lack the proper terminology.
