Women Reproductive Health in an Ageing Society and Private-Public Intervention

The essay examines women’s reproductive health in the context of an ageing society. It explores the concept of reproductive health rights and how the postponement of parenthood and biological constraints have led to a structural reliance on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), which now accounts for a significant proportion of births among older mothers.
