STUDY LINKS EUROPE'S DECLINING BIRTH RATE TO CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWNS

  • 15/10/2022

According to research, the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic is likely what caused Europe's birth rate to decline by 14% in January 2021 compared to the prior year.

January 2021 was nine to ten months after Covid-related lockdowns were imposed.

According to the study, longer lockdowns were associated with fewer pregnancies.

The decline was more prevalent in nations with troubled healthcare systems.

According to research reported in the journal Human Reproduction, Sweden, where there was no lockdown, saw normal birth rates while Lithuania and Romania experienced the largest drops, at 28% and 23%, respectively.
