Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is advocating for families to have more children to combat concerns over an ageing population. He plans to introduce legislation making only those with more than two children eligible for local elections. Naidu argues that this will help stabilize the population, drawing comparisons with demographic issues in Japan and Europe. The average age in Andhra Pradesh is projected to rise from 32 to 40 by 2047.
