India’s fertility rate, projected to drop to 1.29 by 2050, could lead to a demographic crisis similar to South Korea’s alarming situation. Experts warn of an ageing population, economic strain, and workforce shrinkage if trends persist. Factors like rising living costs, delayed marriages, and gender inequality contribute to this decline. The RSS, DMK, and other leaders are urging policies to encourage larger families. Experts recommend economic reforms, gender-inclusive policies, and work-life balance initiatives to address the crisis. Without action, India’s demographic advantage may turn into a challenge, mirroring issues faced by ageing societies like South Korea and Japan.
