IS THE END OF THE WORLD NIGH? Fertility rates and population decline

Emeritus Professor Wayne Gillett

The average number of children women have in NZ is 1.52, well below the population replacement rate of 2.1.  Rapidly declining fertility rates are a worldwide phenomenon and Wayne will highlight economic, climate change and pandemic consequences of declining and ageing populations. Wayne trained in obstetrics and gynaecology and was Director of Fertility Associates Dunedin.
