indias declining fertility rates

IVF experts of the best IVF centre in Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World share valuable insights on the reason behind the sharp declining fertility rates.

India’s future might be in crisis with the sharp decline in its fertility rates. Read this interesting article by IVF experts of the best IVF clinic in Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World on the possible causes of this sharp decline.

Is the decline in total fertility rates in India, true?

“Studies reveal that India is facing a decline in fertility rates that mirror the demographic crisis happening across China and other East Asian countries. It is alarming to know that in 2025, there have been 1.9 births per woman which is below the replacement level of 2.1. This is the average number of children a woman needs to have to maintain a stable population. The decline is not just limited to the southern parts of the country but throughout the nation,” mentioned Dr. Gunjan Gupta, renowned gynaecologist Ghaziabad and Founder & Director of Gunjan IVF World – three times winner of North India’s best IVF clinic chain by Economic Times since 2023, 2024 and 2025. Gunjan IVF World has three other highly advanced IVF clinics at Janakpuri, Noida and Meerut. “Governments in the southern part of the country are advocating policy incentives like tax breaks, cash benefits and childcare support programmes to encourage larger families,” she added.

Impacts of the declining fertility rates

“India has an ageing population, i.e., 1 out of every 5 would be 60 years or above in age. It is a known fact that with growing age fertility levels drop drastically in both men and women. Another important factor that is impacting the falling fertility rates is shrinking workforce which means labour shortage because of lesser number of births,” mentioned Dr. Garima Sharma, Centre In- Charge and Consultant of a leading IVF clinic in Janakpuri – Gunjan IVF World.

Lesser workforce means a drop in economic productivity too. With an aging population, the dependency rates are also high because the old population needs to depend on younger ones for sustenance.

A vital impact of falling fertility rates in India is smaller family sizes in comparison to the traditional big family structure. As a result of this the elderly care can get impacted too.
