As India’s fertility rate falls, what does replacement fertility really mean?
India's fertility rate is declining, with projections indicating every state could fall below replacement fertility by 2039, according to Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath. This trend reflects changing family dynamics, education, and economic factors, rather than individual infertility. Understanding replacement fertility, typically around 2.1 children per woman, is crucial as it influences population growth and age structure.
