A 2023 map of countries by fertility rate. Blue indicates negative fertility rates. Red indicates positive rates. The total fertility rate (TFR) of a population is the average number of children that are born to a woman over her lifetime, if they were to experience the exact current age-specific fertility rates (ASFRs) through their lifetime, and they were to live from birth until the end of ...
Replacement fertility is the total fertility rate at which women give birth to enough babies to sustain population levels, assuming that mortality rates remain constant and net migration is zero. [10] If replacement level fertility is sustained over a sufficiently long period, each generation will exactly replace itself. [10]
France has been successful in increasing fertility rates from the low levels seen in the late 1980s, after a continuous fall in the birth rate. [41] In 1994, the total fertility rate was as low as 1.66, but perhaps due to the active family policy of the government in the mid-1990s, it has increased, and maintained an average of 2.0 from 2008 ...
Total fertility rate in Korea. South Korea has the lowest fertility rate in the world at 0.78. [57] A variety of explanations have been proposed, ranging from investment in education [58] to birth control, abortion, a decline in the marriage rate, divorce, female participation in the labor force, and the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

Sub-replacement fertility is a total fertility rate (TFR) that (if sustained) leads to each new generation being less populous than the older, previous one in a given area. The United Nations Population Division defines sub-replacement fertility as any rate below approximately 2.1 children born per woman of childbearing age, but the threshold ...
The Census Bureau showed a population increase of 0.4% for the twelve-month period ending in July 2022, [13] below the world average annual rate of 0.9%. [15] The total fertility rate in the United States estimated for 2022 is 1.665 children per woman, [3] which is below the replacement fertility rate of approximately 2.1.
1 CBR = crude birth rate (per 1000); CDR = crude death rate (per 1000); NC = natural change (per 1000); TFR = total fertility rate (number of children per woman); IMR = infant mortality rate per 1000 births.
The total fertility rate is the number of children born to each woman. It is based on fairly good data for the entire period. Sources: Our World In Data and Gapminder Foundation. [36] TFR of Russia from 1843 to 2016. In many of the years from 1843 to 1917, Russia had the highest total fertility rate in the world. [36]
