KINGSTON, Jamaica—The Government is preparing a comprehensive response to the country’s declining birth rate that ensures long term-demographic and economic sustainability, says Health and Wellness Minister, Dr Christopher Tufton.
He noted that the low birth rate is not only a medical and fertility issue but also a major socioeconomic challenge, requiring coordinated policy action.
“We’ve heard the clinical discussion around fertility… but we have a very critical socio economic challenge that we actually need to pay more attention to,” the minister said.
