Slowing of population growth- Today, global fertility rates are declining.

In the 1960s, the average

world fertility rate was nearly five children per woman; in 2019, the rate was 2.4 children per woman.
This is largely a result of increased access to contraception and abortion, allowing people greater control
over the number of children they have.

Slowing of population growth- is the declining rate of population, where in the fertility rate decreases that
affects the growth of population. In the 1960s, the average world fertility rate was nearly five children per
woman; in 2019, the rate was 2.4 children per woman.
Factors that contribute to slowing of population growth:
1. Aging-
2. What causes population growth and decline?
3. Three factors influence population: births, deaths, and migration. Of
course, giving birth, dying, or moving to another country are deeply
personal and life-changing moments for individuals and their families.
Although totaling up such events into a handful of statistics seems
impersonal, policymakers have to do just that, because those statistics
can have profound effects on a country as a whole.
4. For much of human history, population sizes were relatively stable
because deaths were so frequent that people could barely have children
fast enough to sustain growth. But the mortality rates, or the proportion
of people who die in a year, in many countries began to decline during
the Industrial Revolution due to advances in hygiene, infrastructure,
and vaccinations. Major developments in health care starting in the
twentieth century also resulted in longer and healthier lives. Those gains
set off a period of exponential global population growth, with global life
expectancy skyrocketing from just thirty-two years in 1900 to over
seventy today.
