Fertility decline linked to gender mismatch

The world's fertility rate is dropping because women are more educated and have better access to contraception, but men aren't helping enough with domestic work.

This means fewer children are being born, which can cause problems for economies and social systems.

In India, this is happening because women are getting more education and marrying later, but they still do most of the housework.

If India doesn't create more jobs and change how domestic work is divided, it might face a future with too few workers and too many elderly people who need support.
