Gen Z (Generation Z) refers to individuals born between 1997 and 2012.

A nationwide survey was conducted by Motherhood Hospitals and Nova IVF Fertility, taking inputs from over 200 women aged 23 to 30 years across metros and tier-I cities. It sheds light on perceptions of fertility, timelines and reproductive health among young professionals.

As per the survey finding, 51 per cent of India's Gen Z women want fertility checks as part of their routine health tests. Just like their financial health, members of the Gen Z are looking at a more planned approach to parenthood, and 40 per cent of the respondents plan to start trying for pregnancy between 28 and 32 years, it said.
