I think we just differ on the definitions of the term.

Which is fine, but this is how the word is used in research.

Right. But the right words would be decline of birth rate, not fertility.

Nope, that's just the usage you're familiar with.

From Wikipedia: "Fertility refers to the actual production of offspring, rather than the physical capability to reproduce, which is termed fecundity."

Yep. Neither one's objectively wrong, but they aren't the same.
