A new study co-led by the University of Hong Kong projects a significant rise in global infertility cases among women aged 35 to 49, potentially reaching 79.64 million by 2036. This trend poses a considerable public health challenge for Hong Kong, where delayed childbearing is common and maternal age is already among the highest globally. Researchers emphasize the need for enhanced fertility education and earlier reproductive planning, rather than solely focusing on treatment, to address the complex social and developmental implications of infertility.
