Tasmania’s Fertility Rate Crisis: What It Means for the Future

Declining Birth Rates Threaten Tasmania’s Stability

Tasmania is grappling with a falling fertility rate, now below the level needed to sustain its population. Sky News host James Macpherson emphasizes that, to maintain a stable population, a fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman is required. 

Currently, Tasmania’s rate is below this threshold, raising concerns about its future. The Hobart Mercury warns of potential severe consequences if this trend continues. Falling fertility rates, a challenge across the Western world, could lead to an aging population, economic strain, and reduced workforce if not addressed.
