#24: The Less, The Better?
Child mortality rates have seen a significant and heartening decline in recent years, reflecting the progress made in global healthcare and social development efforts. One crucial factor contributing to this trend is the widespread use of birth control methods, allowing families to voluntarily limit their fertility and plan for the future responsibly.
Contrary to past concerns about a “population bomb,” these measures have helped stabilize population growth while simultaneously reducing the burden on healthcare systems. This trend emphasizes the substantial strides humanity has made in improving the health and well-being of children, families, and communities around the world, offering hope for a more equitable and sustainable future.
