Iran’s Statistics Center issues stark warning about population decline

Iran’s population will reach 93.7 million in 2046. That’s according to the country’s Statistics Center, which warned that from the same year, the decline of the Iranian population will start.

Over recent decades, Iran has witnessed a steady decline in childbirth rates, with the population growth rate dropping from 4.8 percent in the early 1980s to below one percent in recent years.

Iranian officials, most notably the country’s leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, have been calling for people to help increase the child birth rate, warning of the dangers of their refusal to do so.
Currently Iran has a population of 85 million people.
