Experts sound alarm on falling global fertility rates

The video discusses the decline in global fertility rates from 4.84 in 1950 to 2.23 in 2021, with projections of 1.59 by 2100. Factors such as increased education and workforce participation for women, along with better access to contraception, contribute to this trend. If the decline continues, most countries will have unsustainable fertility rates by 2100. This could align population size with available resources, potentially reducing issues like traffic and pollution.
