The total fertility rate of India in 2017 stood at 2.2. [2] Due to the large population, poverty and strain on resources, the Indian government initiated population control efforts to decrease birth rate with the current target being at 2.1 children per woman. [3]
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]
Crude birth rate trends in India (per 1000 people, national average) [47] [48] [49] Infant mortality rate trends in India (per 1000 births, under age 1, national average) India occupies 2.41% of the world's land area but supports over 18% of the world's population.
The fertility rate in India has been in long-term decline, and more than halved from 1960 to 2009. From 5.7 births per woman in 1966, it declined to 3.3 births per woman by 1997 and 2.7 births per woman in 2009. [4] [5] In 2005 the TFR, (total fertility rate), was listed as 2.9 births per women. Since this time, the country has recorded a ...
The total fertility rate per woman in India is 2.5. The average life expectancy in India is 66 years old. For women, it is specifically 68 years old and for men it is 64 years old. In 2015, India's maternal mortality was 174 per 100,000 live births. In 2005, it was estimated that the maternal mortality ratio in India is 16 times higher than ...
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 ...
Crude birth rate refers to the number of births over a given period divided by the person-years lived by the population over that period. It is expressed as number of births per 1,000 population. The article lists 233 countries and territories in crude birth rate. The first list is provided by Population Reference Bureau. [1]
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.
