The global fertility rate has plummeted below the replacement level since the 1960s, with many adults feeling unable to have the desired number of children. A report by the UNFPA highlights that financial barriers, lack of access to medical care, and concerns about the world's future contribute to this trend. Notably, most respondents cite issues other than infertility affecting their reproductive choices. Experts urge governments to address these socio-economic factors, warning that policies restricting reproductive rights could exacerbate demographic issues and personal freedoms.
People's fertility choices are often compromised by socio-economic barriers rather than personal preference; addressing these is essential for reversing declining birth rates.
Government policies that restrict reproductive health and autonomy hinder not only personal freedoms but also contribute to demographic challenges.
