Abstract The worldwide fertility rate has been experiencing a downward trend in recent decades, prompting concerns regarding its long-term impacts on demographics and the economy. This demographic change arises from several interconnected factors, such as socioeconomic progress, urbanization, advancements in education and healthcare, and evolving societal values. While a reduction in fertility rates can result in beneficial outcomes like enhanced gender equality, greater workforce involvement, and improved child welfare, it also presents considerable challenges. Issues such as a rapidly aging population, a diminishing workforce, and heightened dependency ratios jeopardize economic stability, social security frameworks, and labor markets. Nations facing declines in fertility must formulate strategic policies to harmonize economic growth with social welfare while tackling labor shortages and fostering a sustainable demographic profile. This article examines the fundamental reasons behind declining fertility rates, the repercussions for both global and national economies, and possible strategies to manage this demographic shift. Through an analysis of diverse demographic models and policy measures, this study offers insights into alleviating the negative impacts of low fertility rates and promoting long-term societal resilience. Addressing this challenge necessitates a comprehensive, multi-dimensional strategy that includes family-oriented policies, immigration reform, incentives for childbirth, and improved work-life balance to ensure a sustainable future.
