State of world population 2025 : the real fertility crisis : the pursuit of reproductive agency in a changing world

In 2025, the global fertility rate is making headlines. In many countries, birth rates are declining, leading policymakers to sound the alarm over the potential for "population collapse". In an attempt to mitigate the demographic changes, they face, some governments are employing drastic measures to persuade women to have more children. Despite this fact, millions of people around the world are unable to have the number of children they want. In every country, regardless of total fertility rate, the most consequential reproductive decision a human being can make – when, whether and with whom to have a child – is being undermined. UNFPA's new State of World Population report argues that the real crisis we are facing is not a problem of demographic change: It is a crisis of reproductive agency.
