Dr. Yavor Vladimirov Ambassador for “More Joy”

The birth rate is falling more and more

The number of countries whose birth rate fell below the replacement level (2.1 children per woman) rose sharply from 5% in 1950 to 50% in 2020.

Choosing whether and when to have a child is a human right

Infertility is a growing problem around the world, but only a small percentage of people who need help for a child get the care they need.

Families develop healthy economies

The decline in the birth rate poses a challenge that threatens economic growth and social stability.

We call on politicians:

• Enact laws and programs to build families, equitable access to treatment, and reimbursement of fertility care costs.
• To support the development of easy-to-use and more affordable high-quality assisted reproductive technologies.
• To deter the risk factors for infertility — air pollution and the spread of toxic chemicals.
• Provide infrastructure and support to increase access to care, especially in areas with low socio-economic development.
