Iran faces rapid demographic shift as birth rate falls and population ages
Iran is undergoing one of the fastest demographic shifts in the world, with a sharply falling birth rate.
Families face growing pressure as fewer children are born and the population ages rapidly.
Officials warn the pace of ageing is unusually fast compared with global trends.
The changing demographics are placing strain on Iran’s economy and welfare systems.
Authorities have urged policies to encourage larger families, with limited success.
Analysts say the shift could reshape Iran’s labour market and long-term growth.
