ABSTRACT
The world has experienced pandemics worse than the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). However, the global effect of this pandemic has been overwhelming. The effect of the pandemic on the trajectory of fertility has not been researched in detail, despite the fact that this has an overpowering role in the aftermath of the pandemic. This article focuses on the problem, its implications and highlights recommendations to the “baby boom”.
