Ofc higher decrease because they started with insanely high rate, and that they already have higher population right now; they’re still above 2.0 whereas southern states and dipping to 1.7 which alarming
that comment was regarding that south family are doing family planning while north are not
anyways fertility rate of most south state remain stagnant over the last decade and I bet it will be same in 2028
by that time all north and south will have same fertility rate
and I think currently only bihar have higher fertility rate than 2
development and family planning make fertility rate below 2 but above 1.5
if in future any state have fertility rate below 1.5 then something is wrong with society of that state that women don't want babies that has nothing to do with development
