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]
Canada's fertility rate hit a record low of 1.4 children born per woman in 2020, [32] below the population replacement level, which stands at 2.1 births per woman. In 2020, Canada also experienced the country's lowest number of births in 15 years, [32] also seeing the largest annual drop in childbirths (−3.6%) in a quarter of a century. [32]
The following list sorts countries and dependent territories by their net reproduction rate.The net reproduction rate (R 0) is the number of surviving daughters per woman and an important indicator of the population's reproductive rate.
As life expectancies increase and fertility rates decrease, the world’s population will grow older. Projections show that those 65 and older will outnumber children younger than 18 by 2080.
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 ...

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. [1] In countries with very high fertility rates women can have their first child at a much younger age than the mean age at childbearing.
Both had 7 births per 1,000 women aged 15–19 in 2002. [6] Norway's birth rate is slightly higher, at 11 births per 1,000 women aged 15–19 in 2002. [6] Iceland had a birth rate of 19 per 1,000 women aged 15–19 in 2002. [6] These countries have higher abortion rates than the Netherlands. [citation needed]
