Q. According to the Lancet study, what is the projected fertility rate for India in 2050?
Answer: 1.29
Notes: India's total fertility rate (TFR) is projected to plummet to 1.29 children per woman by 2050 and further to 1.04 by 2100, as per a Lancet study. The decline signifies a substantial drop from 6.18 children per woman in 1950. India currently falls below the replacement level of fertility, with a TFR of 1.91 in 2021, below the required 2.1. This trend aligns with global projections of declining fertility rates worldwide.
