she summarized it.I don‘t get her post. She uses a lot of words to say practically nothing.
Urban India is postponing to thirties while Rural India is postponing to 25-34 and declining.
the decline in overall TFR is gradual but this shift in age group may not be gradual.
If this what Indian thinking to be optimistic than India will have greater problem.
The data shows a clear shift.
In cities, fewer young women are having children in their early twenties.
Fertility is moving to the thirties.
That is postponement, not decline.
In rural areas, the story is sharper.
Births among women aged 15 to 19 are falling.
There is some rise among those aged 25 to 34, but not enough to balance it out.
