Countries by fertility rate as of 2020.

TFR equals the sum for all age groups of 5 times each ASFR rate. [8] Gross Reproduction Rate (GRR) - the number of girl babies a ...
The gross reproduction rate (GRR) is the average number of daughters a woman would have if she survived all of her childbearing years, which is roughly to the age of 45, subject to the age-specific fertility rate and sex ratio at birth throughout that period.

Top economies face ‘population collapse’ as fertility rates drop, and something’s got to give, study says. ... or more than nine working-age people supporting one older person. The ratio is ...
The mean age at childbearing indicates the age of a woman at their childbearing events, if women were subject throughout their lives to the age-specific fertility rates observed in that given year.
