India's Fertility Rate Drops Below Replaceable Level
The New Indian Express Tirunelveli
|June 11, 2025
The United Nations Population Fund's latest report predicts that India's population will reach an estimated 1.46 billion by 2025, but at the same time, the fertility rate has declined below the replaceable level.
Right now, the fertility rate is precariously placed at 1.9. This means the population curve will soon start moving south. According to UNFPA's 2025 State of World Population Report, in the next 40 years, India will reach an estimated population of about 1.7 billion before it starts declining.
