educated women are having fewer children in india

[kevinUsa]

The figures of the continuously declining fertility rate among educated women are a reflection of the changing beliefs in society. This emerging situation in demography does not bode well for the rising level of population in the country.

These days there is also a tendency among some young couples to avoid the bond of marriage and opt for live-in relationship. Those in such relationships, generally don’t have children. Even many of those who get married, are not interested in having children. This thinking, that is, DINKS, double income no kids, is gaining currency.

And even if they do have a child, many couples are not interested in having more than one. Due to all this, fewer children are being born among the educated youth.'
