The United Nations had recently estimated that the worid population will reach eight billion by Nov 15 Le. today, However, Mumbai presents a contrasting picture as the city has recorded a 23.65% decrease in total number of births recorded post Covid outbreak in 2019. Hence, contradicting the popular belief that the population rose at a time when the pandemic was at its peak.
According to the data accessed by The Free Press Journal, Mumbai recorded 1,48,898 births in 2019 followed by 1,20,188 in 2020. The figure dropped further to 1,13,669 in 2021. Till September this year. the city saw 94,117 births. A glimmer of hope coincides with the UN projection as there is expectation of the birth rate rising marginally this year.
