Female fertility level declines in Karnataka [1]

Study shows the birth rate drop is more drastic in southern districts

There has been an alarming decline in the fertility rates of women in Karnataka in the past decade, a study of the available 2011 census data has revealed.
The study conducted by the Population Research Centre at Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC) shows the fertility rate has declined to two children per woman in the State in the past five years, resulting in a faster negative growth in the child and young population in future.
