Researcher calls for modernizing the UN’s traditional approach to population replacement measurement

In 2021, Arni S.R. Srinivasa Rao, Ph.D., presented a critique on the formula of net population replacement levels at the International Population Conference 2021 in Hyderabad, India. It was one of the first times he had publicly shared his latest research on population replacement commonly calculated through net reproduction rate (NRR). A blog on the same topic written by him also appeared in Population Association of America’s “PAA Affairs.”
