This seems like India is following in China's footsteps.
The full tweet:
India's fertility rate has fallen below replacement level (2.1 children per women). However there is still significant variation between states.
The lowest birth rate is in Sikkim at 1.1, equivalent to Singapore, while the highest is in Bihar at 3.0, equivalent to Israel.

The map in the tweet has a state by state breakdown.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoSeems strange to compare to China when in fact this trend is happening everywhere. China thought they needed the government to enforce low birth rates, but they were wrong, so it turns out they needlessly abused their own women with forced abortions and sterilizations. Wups.
