Global fertility rates will see 'dramatic decline' by 2100
Quick Glance: Global decline in fertility rates, burden shifting to poorer countries
  • The global fertility rate - the average number of births per woman - has decreased from about 5 children in 1950 to 2.2 in 2021, as indicated by the data.

  • A study suggests that almost all countries will have fertility rates by the end of the century that are too low to maintain population levels, with most live births worldwide occurring in poorer countries.

  • The predictions are based on surveys, censuses, and various data sources collected from 1950 to 2021 as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study.

  • By the end of the century, more than three-quarters of live births will take place in low- and lower-middle-income countries, with over half occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, according to researchers.

Quick Glance: US Congressional Leaders Propose Spending Bill to Cut UNRWA Funding
  • A new bill with support from Biden and bipartisan agreement aims to prevent a government shutdown and prohibit funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.

  • The proposed spending bill from Congressional leaders in the US would avert a government shutdown but ban funding for the UNRWA.

  • The US has been UNRWA’s largest donor, and a ban would almost certainly lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

  • De-funding of UNRWA has been paused by some Western countries, led by the US, despite UNRWA denying allegations of having ties to Hamas.
