What is the projected fertility rate for India in 2050 according to the Lancet study?

1.8

1.29

2.2

1.04

Answer: Option

Explanation:

The Lancet study projects India's fertility rate to drop to 1.29 in 2050, down from just under 2 in 2021. This significant decline is part of a global trend where the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has decreased from over 4.8 children per woman in 1950 to 2.2 in 2021, with further reductions predicted in the future.
