    Bangladesh experienced a rapid decline in fertility rates from 6.9 to 4.1 children per woman between 1970-1975 and 1990-1995. Life expectancy across South Asia was generally low in 1970-1975, below 60 years except in Sri Lanka, and below 50 years for most countries other than India and Pakistan. Mortality rates have since improved across the region, resulting in a current average life expectancy of around 70 years in South Asia. The population of older persons in South Asia has increased four-fold from 28 million in 1950 to 125 million in 2010, and the share of the population that is older is predicted to continue rising significantly through 2050.

    The speed at which different countries in this region experienced fertility decline is striking with

    Bangladesh experiencing a decline from 6.9(1970-1975) to 4.1(1990-1995) in a span of two decades.


    The life expectancy at birth was lower than 60 years in 1970-1975 except Sri Lanka. Countries other
    than India and Pakistan had a life expectancy lower than 50 years during this period. However, there
    have been improvements with respect to the mortality rates as seen in Fig 4.7 and 4.8. This has
    resulted in a life expectancy of around 70 currently in South-Asia.
    South Asia has experienced a four-fold increase in old-age population from 28 million in 1950 to 125
    million in 2010(Bhakta B. Gubhaju, 2013). Old-age population share is predicted to increase from 7.3
    % in 2010 to 10.5 % in 2025 and 19.1 percent in 2050. However, this percentage also differs within
