Low Fertility Societies

Low fertility societies are communities or countries where women have fewer children on average, often less than the replacement level of about two children per woman. This decline can result from factors such as increased education, career opportunities, urban living, higher living costs, and changing social values about family size. As a result, these societies may face challenges like aging populations and shrinking workforces, which can impact economic growth and social support systems. Understanding these trends helps plan for future societal needs and policies to address demographic shifts.
