Population momentum impacts the immediate birth and death rates in the population that determine the natural rate of growth. However, for a population to have an absolute zero amount of natural growth, three things must occur. 1. Fertility rates must level off to the replacement rate (the net reproduction rate should be 1). If the fertility ...
A map of when European fertility rates fell below replacement levels Map of countries by crude birth rate Map of countries by total fertility rate. 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.
In demography, demographic transition is a phenomenon and theory in the social sciences referring to the historical shift from high birth rates and high death rates to low birth rates and low death rates as societies attain more technology, education (especially of women), and economic development.

Omran's third phase occurs when human birth rates drastically decline from highly positive replacement rates to stable replacement numbers. In several European nations replacement rates have even become negative. [11] This transition generally represents the net effect of individual choices on family size and the ability to implement those choices.
The other aberration from this otherwise-steady decline in teen birth rates is the six percent decrease in birth rates for 15- to 19-year-olds between 2008 and 2009. [65] Despite the decrease, U.S. teen birth rates remain higher than those in other developed nations. [ 65 ]
Hispanic dropout rates are among the highest and Hispanic education achievement levels are among the lowest of any minority. This problem is exacerbated by a modern US society in which higher levels of educational achievement are increasingly considered prerequisites for employment, contributing to a higher than average unemployment rate among
A study published in Nature in 2009 found that when using the Human Development Index instead of the GDP as measure for economic development, fertility follows a J-shaped curve: with rising economic development, fertility rates indeed do drop at first but then begin to rise again as the level of social and economic development increases while ...
