Despite a slight increase in births during the COVID-19 pandemic period, the numbers have not rebounded significantly. Experts suggest that economic uncertainties, career prioritization, and access to family planning resources contribute to this trend.

Policy makers are urged to consider strategies that might help to balance these demographic shifts.
