Planning reports lower fertility rates and better development

This article discusses the improvement of development indicators in Iraq and the decline in fertility rates, with the country's population expected to exceed 50 million by 2030. The results show an increase in average life expectancy and a decrease in deaths caused by diseases. Additionally, about 70% of households own their homes, although challenges remain in updating residential units and addressing slum areas. The slowdown in population growth reflects higher cultural and educational levels among women, yet growth continues at a high rate, with between one million and one and a quarter million births annually. This necessitates pre-planned strategies to provide essential services and infrastructure. Currently, the population stands at 46.1 million, and it is expected to surpass 50 million by 2030, emphasizing the need to strengthen planning to accommodate future population increases.
