In particular, researchers have attempted to estimate that after how long, and under what conditions, fertility rate should be taken for Bangladesh to reach replacement-level fertility (2.1 children per woman). The medium-variant scenario of the United Nations projection indicates that Bangladesh will achieve replacement-level fertility around 2025-2030 (United Nations, 1999,...
