fertility rates
Children per woman
Fertility rates measure how many children are born within a population, typically expressed as births per woman over her lifetime or births per thousand people annually.
Demographers track fertility rates to project population growth, plan public services, and study social trends.
A total fertility rate of 2.1 is considered replacement level—enough births to maintain population size.
Fertility rates have declined sharply in developed countries.
