Nepal has no dearth of working-age population

Kathmandu, Jan. 6:

In the 1990s, the fertility rate of Nepali women was 5.8 children. However, the most recent census data, 2021 has revealed a significant decline, with the current fertility rate falling to 2.1 children per woman, a level considered ideal for the present demographic landscape. While this shift aligns with global trends towards lower fertility rates, stakeholders are expressing concerns about the potential for further decline in the coming years if the current trends persist.
