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]
Fertility rate – past trend and present. Total fertility rate: 4.6 children born/woman (1996) Total fertility rate: 4.1 children born/woman (2001) Total fertility rate: 3.1 children born/woman (2006) Total fertility rate: 2.6 children born/woman Rural fertility rate: 2.8 children born/woman Urban fertility rate: 1.6 children born/woman (2011)
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.
This is a list of countries showing past fertility rate, ranging from 1950 to 2015 in five-year periods, as estimated by the 2017 revision of the World Population Prospects database by the United Nations Population Division. The fertility rate equals the expected number of children born per woman in her child-bearing years.
The fertility rate is 2.24 children born per woman, and the birth rate is 20.64 births per 1,000 people. The mother's mean age at first birth is 20.1 years old. 49.7% of the population use contraception. [3] It is unclear what the abortion rate is in the country, likely because it is considered taboo, so women are less likely to report it. [4]
Nepal conducted a widespread national census in 2011 by the Nepal Central Bureau of Statistics. [2] Working in cooperation with the 58 municipalities and the 3,915 Village Development Committees at a district level, they recorded data from all the municipalities and villages of each district. The data included statistics on population size ...
In demographic contexts, fertility refers to the actual production of offspring, rather than the physical capability to produce which is termed fecundity. [1] [2] While fertility can be measured, fecundity cannot be. Demographers measure the fertility rate in a variety of ways, which can be broadly broken into "period" measures and "cohort ...
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 ...
