Why it matters
Annual and multi-year figures move slowly. A step this size is compared with how far the same series usually moves from one period to the next, so an ordinary year does not read as news.
For total fertility rate, neither a rise nor a fall is better in itself, so the observatory marks this movement as unusual rather than good or bad.
Historical context
Typical year-to-year movement over the previous 4 steps: 0.1.
