India is facing a population decline

India, currently the world’s most populous country, is also experiencing a decline in fertility rates. From a high of 6.18 children per woman in 1950, the fertility rate is projected to fall to 1.29 by 2050, dipping below the replacement rate of 2.1. While the pace of India’s demographic transition is slower than that of South Korea, the decline in fertility is nonetheless a cause for concern.
