Scientists are sounding the alarm over a global fertility crisis that is posing a major threat to the human race.
Global fertility is declining, with most of the world’s population now under threat, a team of leading American scientists warns.
Over half of all countries and territories are experiencing rates below replacement levels since 2021.
By 2050, it is projected that 75 percent of the world’s fertility rates will be insufficient to maintain population levels.
Scientists from the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington, Seattle, have warned of a looming global fertility crisis.
They warn that the crisis is threatening to reshape population dynamics by the end of the century.
The findings of the peer-reviewed study were published in the world-renowned medical journal The Lancet on Wednesday.
The study suggests that fertility rates are plummeting in almost all countries below the levels required to sustain current population numbers.
Stein Emil Vollset, senior researcher and co-lead author of the study from the IHME emphasizes that this trend will sharply contrast nations experiencing a “baby boom” and those facing a “baby bust.”
Low-income countries, already grappling with economic and political instability, are expected to see a surge in births.
However, wealthier nations are witnessing plunging birth rates.
The study, which draws on data compiled between 1950 and 2021 as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study, paints an alarming picture.
It predicts that by 2050, 76 percent of countries and territories (155 out of 204) globally will record fertility rates lower than replacement levels.
The figure is expected to soar to 97 percent (198 countries) by 2100.
According to the researchers, over a third of live births are anticipated by the end of the century in low- and lower-middle-income countries, with more than half concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa.
This shift reflects a global fall in the average number of children born per woman, plunging from roughly 5 in 1950 to 2.2 in 2021.
The implications are profound.
With fertility rates dropping below 1.1 children per woman, nations such as South Korea and Serbia face significant problems of workforce decline.
Vollset stressed the urgency for resource-limited countries to support rapidly growing populations amid precarious political, economic, and environmental conditions.
Meanwhile, in high-income countries, declining fertility rates are partly a result of advancements in women’s education and employment opportunities — but also underscore the need for improved access to contraception and education in other regions.
Natalia Bhattacharjee, one of the study’s lead co-authors, suggests that as populations dwindle, countries may increasingly rely on mass immigration in a bid to sustain economic growth.
The news comes amid a global spike in miscarriages and stillbirths that started in 2021.
In November, a leading American obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, testified before Congress regarding an alarming spike in miscarriages among women who have received Covid mRNA injections.
Dr. Kimberly Biss, an OB-GYN who has been involved in 8,000 pregnancies, joined a panel of experts to testify before Congress in the “Injuries Caused by COVID-19 Vaccines” hearing on Capitol Hill.
“I’ve never seen this before,” Biss warned congressional lawmakers.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who led the hearing, asked Biss:
“How many of your patients or pregnant women that you know of experience miscarriages after taking the COVID-19 vaccines — or injections?”
Biss first explained that the vaccination rate among her patient population was about 60%.
She revealed that most of the patients received three injections.
“Very few received four or more,” Biss noted.
“What’s concerning is the majority of the patients received their injections in 2021 and early 2022,” Dr. Biss detailed.
“However, we’re still seeing lingering effects.”
WATCH:
Last year, a study was published by researchers in Switzerland which determined that recent spikes in stillbirths and miscarriages recorded around the world are directly linked to the rollout of mRNA Covid shots.
The study was led by Dr. Konstantin Beck, a renowned statistician and professor at Lucerne University, as Slay News reported.
Beck’s team conducted data analysis on the increased cases of “spontaneous abortion.”
During the study, Beck analyzed publicly available Swiss and German findings from scientific publications, health insurance companies, and the Swiss Federal Office of Statistics (FOS).
Beck, a former adviser to the German Minister of Health and the Swiss Parliament, discovered miscarriages and stillbirth rates in 2022 corresponded directly to COVID-19 vaccination among pregnant women.
Public statements by authorities insisted that there was “no relevant excess mortality among young people.”
However, according to Beck’s re-examination of the government’s own data, there were significant patterns of excess mortality among young people in late 2021 and early 2022.
Beck’s analysis showed that for every month in 2022, there were fewer births than there had been on average over the previous six years, for an overall reduction of 8.5 percent in the national birth rate.
The study concluded that the data indicates a shocking 73.1 percent increase in miscarriages among vaccinated women.
