BENGALURU: At a time when policies on population control are being hotly debated, experts feel that such measures are coercive in nature and shift the focus away from real issues on hand.
Terming it a “disaster” to even think of implementing a population control policy in Karnataka, executive director of the Population Foundation of India, Poonam Muttreja, said no state needs such a policy, and, if Karnataka implements a ‘coercive’ policy like that, then the government will soon have to start offering incentives to people to populate, specially as Karnataka’s Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has been anyway declining from 2.5 in 1999 to 1.7 in 2020, while the prescribed TFR is 2.1.
