Is anyone in India really thinking they have a „too few people“ problem?
Tbh, it’s just a handful of states that have a high TFR, and surprisingly, some states have a TFR as low as 1.3 or lower, which is way below replacement level. The local governments are trying to re-educate couples to have kids, while the same states have a really high TFR, especially those near the Bangladesh border.

Well it’s about time… them and China couldn’t keep the pace up…
India would be so much better off if their population was only 300 million or so. The era of human labor as capital is over.

This is not amazing news.
Countries have a narrow window of opportunity while their populations are growing for their economies to experience rapid positive change.
An increase in real GDP is almost always driven by an increase in population – you need more people to drive more productivity and innovation.
It is challenging for a country with a declining population to experience economic growth. India has not yet advanced economically enough to secure a good quality of life for the hundreds of millions of working class people in that country.
A declining population could leave India stuck in an (even lower than) middle-income trap.
unsurprising
We’re overpopulated just about everywhere. The earth needs a break. This is great news.
I don’t think that’s a bad problem in India.
I went there once for a business trip. It was like a massive colony of ants but with people.
Everything was just packed with people. The trains and the roads were pure chaos. If you don’t have anxiety you will if you board one of their trains or buses.
I never seen anything like it in my life. Think of a popular amusement park like Disney World in the middle of summer but quadruple the amount of people.
Given the incredibly dense population, isn’t this a good thing to happen for a period before stabilizing at more manageable levels?
The issue is there are going to be a lot more old people than young people.

India’s fertility rate dropped bellow replacement rate (2.1) in 2020 and has continued to remain under it and is now at 1.9. However, it still has a young population so it carries the momentum from all the people who still haven’t had kids, which will cause the overall population to continue to rise. According to estimates it should peak at 1.7 billion in 2070 and then fall slowly back to 1.5 billion by 2100.
Climate change is real folks
Pro-tip, anyone that refers to fertility rates when they are actually discussing birth rates, can be ignored for the most part until a nonbiased source corroberates them.
It is similar in scope to anyone that refers to the democrat party, instead of the democratic party.
Good. This country is denser than the Netherlands.
8 billion people on this planet is more than enough people as it is.
Im no expert, but I think itd be very good for Indias population to slowly decline to under 1 billion over the next few hundred years. Of course too low of a fertility rate (like what were seeing in east asia) is a bad thing, but just below replacement level is good.
When governments, billionaires and corporations put profits above making this world easier for the individual to live in people stop having kids, along with everything else. It’s not a hard concept, If everyday society is hostile toward having kids then people won’t do it, Along with being at constant war and climate change, financial instability.
When governments start to take these things seriously then maybe the individual will too.
