Bhutan is at a demographic crossroads. The country’s fertility rate, which was at a robust 6.6 births per woman in 1971, has fallen to a critical low of 1.866, far below the replacement level of 2.1. This alarming decline signals a future fraught with challenges for our nation—an aging population, a shrinking workforce, and increased social and economic strain on younger generations.
