This means that one thing that we have enough of is population. But despite this, the state government of Sikkim is providing incentives to the people in its state- to encourage them to have more babies. Why is that? This is because the Total fertility rate of Sikkim has fallen to 1.1 which means that on average, a woman in Sikkim is giving birth to only one baby in her reproductive lifespan. This has got the government really worried because a TFR of at least 2.1 is necessary to replace the population at its existing level. A TFR of 1.1 would mean that if things continue the way they are right now, the population of Sikkimese people will be in danger. How dangerous this exactly is and what is the government doing to address that?
