More Births

An absolutely wild fertility gradient across Iran. The educated and higher income areas around Tehran have a fertility rate of under 1.0. Meanwhile, the tribal regions bordering Pakistan have a fertility rate more than three times higher. What does this mean for Iran's future?

My estimates for the fertility rates by province in Iran for 2025. While the TFR of Sistan and Balochestan is more than double the national rate, there are already three provinces with a sub-1.0 rate. The TFR of the Tehran metropolitan area (Tehran and Alborz province) is 1.02.
