United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) launched its State of World Population 2025 report, which reveals how the most consequential reproductive decision a human being can make — when, whether and with whom to have a child — is being undermined by economic and social barriers. Together with YouGov, UNFPA conducted a survey of 14 countries to ask people whether they are having the families they desire, finding that alarmingly high proportions of adults are unable to realize their fertility intentions. You can read the full report — The real fertility crisis: The pursuit of reproductive agency in a changing world — here. You can see a list of five things you didn’t know about global fertility rates — here.
