I know more Indian couples who has only 1 child vs 3. In my family (my generation), not a single couple has more than 2 child. My family's replacement rate is below 2. From my dads side, we are 12 cousins. We only have 18 kids. My village in India has roughly 440 people. Not a single couple that got married in last 20 years has more than 2 kids.
Before Covid, we had a middle school reunion. Every single one of us had 1-2 kids.
I have 8 best friends (Married for 15+ years). Only one of my friend and I have 2 kids. Everyone else has only 1 kid.
Pretty much all states except a couple are below replacement rate of 2.1. And some are way below 2.1.
- kshacker 5y agoGreat anecdotes but situation varies from state to state. Fertility rates vary from 1.1 to 2.4 and 3.0. Why did I mention 2.4 AND 3.0 because these 2 states account for a quarter if not more of the Indian population. This is not to say your anecdotes are wrong but there exist different Indias and some of them have not seen the modern light.
