The State of Global Fertility
A recent report from South Korea reveals that the country's fertility rate dropped to a record low of 0.72 births per woman in 2023, which is significantly below the replacement rate of 2.1.

Experts attribute this decline to increased access to contraception and more women entering the workforce. Bonneville Research
