It means swiftly, rapidly without stopping. Mace wants to say that the decline of birth rates is a modern trend that grows rapidly all across the world, along with the rise of education, industrialization, urbanization, medicine. All of those things are making our lives easier. Still, we opt for fewer children and smaller families.
