India's Fertility Rate Drops Below Replacement Level, Signaling Major Societal Shift

India's Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has fallen to 1.9 children per woman, below the replacement level of 2.1, according to the SRS Statistical Report 2024. This demographic shift, driven by increased education, career aspirations, and later marriages for women, marks a transition from concerns about overpopulation to managing a declining birth rate and an aging population.

US Family Planning Cuts Leave Uganda Women Struggling to Access Contraception

The second Trump administration's elimination of US international family planning programs has created what experts call the largest disruption ever to global family planning efforts. In Uganda, community health workers like Prossy Muyingo have lost their jobs and stipends, leaving women who previously accessed contraception through US-funded programs now facing unintended pregnancies. Congress appropriated $575 million for family planning but the administration has not spent it. The US was responsible for over 40% of donor funding worldwide, providing 47 million women with contraceptive access annually.
