Abstract

This work rigorously analyzes the global phenomenon of low birth rates and its implications for economic and social stability. The way this process evolves and how states respond in the coming decades will be decisive for their future sustainability. The study examines the current demographic landscape, the causes behind declining birth rates, and their main economic effects. It also evaluates strategies implemented in different contexts and discusses their relevance to the Latin American setting.
