A new report by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) shows that fertility rates in many countries of the world are failing unpredictably, creating distressing situations for the global demographic future, writes BBC, broadcast Periscope.
According to the report, hundreds of millions of people are failing to have the desired number of children because of high parenting costs and the lack of a suitable partner. This phenomenon is widespread in countries from South Korea and Italy to India and South Africa.
In a poll involving 14,000 people in 14 countries, one in five people claimed that they did not have or do not expect to have the desired number of children. The countries involved in the study make up a third of the global population.
The situation is also known for families like that of Namrata Nangia, Mumbai, who copes with financial difficulties because of high costs for school, nursing courses, and other child expenses.
Report U n The NFPA highlights the need for policies and measures that support families and ease the financial burden of parenting in order to halt this sharp decline in fertility rates. /Periscope
