claim: ‘Hindus have the highest fertility rate in World’
evidence: All religious groups in India have shown major declines in fertility rates, a study from Pew Research Center has found. [...] Muslims still have the highest fertility rate (2.6 children per woman in 2015) among the major religious groups, followed by Hindus (2.1). Jains have the lowest fertility rate at 1.2. The study says the general pattern is largely the same as it was in 1992, when Muslims had the highest fertility rate (4.4), followed by Hindus (3.3).
