List of German federal states by fertility rate
The following list sorts the federal states of the Federal Republic of Germany according to their total fertility rate (fertility rate) in 2016. The fertility indicates how many children a woman would have on average in the course of life if the age-specific fertility rates determined at a uniform point in time for the entire period of her fertile phase of life. It is determined by adding up the age-specific fertility rates and dividing them by 1000. The total number of births per federal state is also given.
