Should we be worried about falling fertility rates?
Next meeting the Discussion Group topic will be – What are the pro and cons of a falling fertility rate?
The fertility rate is the average number of live births per woman in the population. In order to maintain the current population size, the fertility rate needs to be 2.1 children per woman. If it is bigger, the population will grow. If it is smaller the population will age, and ultimately reach a point where the proportion of the population which is of working age is no longer large enough to support the increased proportion of the population beyond working age.
We will discuss why fertility rates fall as society becomes more urbanized. Should governments use strategies to influence fertility rates? Suggested strategies to reverse the trend and/or mitigate the economic consequences vary widely, but which one will be effective? Etc.
