List of countries by birth rate
The following list of countries by birth rate sorts countries and territories according to their fertility rate and the number of births per 1000 inhabitants. The fertility rate indicates how many children a woman has on average in her life. In modern societies with low infant and child mortality , it is assumed that mathematically about 2.1 children per woman have to be born in order to keep the population at a constant level in the long term without migration .
The annual number of births per 1000 inhabitants is not only a question of the fertility rate, but also the average age of a population. If the proportion of people of childbearing age is very high, the number of births can still be high despite a relatively low fertility. Another factor is a surplus of men in the population. In the People's Republic of China z. For example, the very unfavorable gender ratio of 119 boys to 100 girls (mainly due to gender-selective abortions ) would require a fertility rate of 2.38 to maintain the population.
list
The data for the fertility rate in 2016 are from the CIA World Factbook and the data for the average fertility rate between 2010 and 2015 are from the United Nations . The data for the number of births per 1000 people in 2016 comes from the CIA World Factbook and the data for the average number of births per 1000 people in the period 2010-2015 from the United Nations. CIA and United Nations data may vary slightly due to different time periods and sources. Countries are ranked according to the 2016 fertility rate. All tables are sortable.
