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]
The net reproduction rate (R 0) is the number of surviving daughters per woman and an important indicator of the population's reproductive rate. If R 0 is one, the population replaces itself and would stay without any migration and emigration at a stable level.
The total dependency ratio is the total numbers of the children (ages 0–14) and elderly (ages 65+) populations per 100 people of adults (ages 15–64).
