In This Issue: By 2050, over three-quarters of countries will have fertility rates below replacement (2.1). By 2100, this will increase to 97% of countries. Fertility rates have rapidly changed in the last 70 years, with the global Total Fertility Rate falling from ~5 in 1950 to 2.2 in 2021. Now, the world is facing another 70 years of rapid change. 2100 may sound far away, but children born today will live to see a low-fertility world.
