ABSTRACT

Infertility or Childlessness is a serious issue that affects 45-50 million couples worldwide. Primary infertility in India has declined from 1992 to 2015, while secondary infertility has observed a rise within the same period. It is seen that people with higher educational levels, working women, obese people and societal activeness are some of the factors that influence these infertility rates. This paper reviews the primary and secondary infertility trends among various countries and how assisted reproductive technologies have emerged and helped infertile couples all over the world, and in India, to have children and be able to experience the feeling of parenthood along with the measures taken by the Indian Government to provide monetary help to economically unstable couples.
