A 2023 map of countries by fertility rate. Blue indicates negative fertility rates. Red indicates positive rates. This is a list of all sovereign states and dependencies by total fertility rate (TFR): the expected number of children born per woman in her child-bearing years.
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. The second list is based on CIA World Factbook estimates for the year 2023. Dependent territories and not fully recognized states might not be ranked.
The following list sorts sovereign states and dependent territories and by the total number of births. Figures are from the 2024 revision of the United Nations World Population Prospects report, for the calendar year 2023.
Last year, South Korea beat its own record for having the world’s lowest birth rate, reporting 0.72 births per woman for 2023, down from 0.78 in 2022. Singapore reported 0.97 births per woman ...
Birth rate, also known as natality, is the total number of live human births per 1,000 population for a given period divided by the length of the period in years. [1] The number of live births is normally taken from a universal registration system for births; population counts from a census, and estimation through specialized demographic ...
Teen births declined 69 percent from 2000 to 2022, according to newly released federal data, but racial and ethnic disparities continue to exist. Births declined at similar rates across all races ...
Total period fertility rate. The TFR, sometimes called TPFR—total period fertility rate, is a better index of fertility than the crude birth rate (annual number of births per thousand population) because it is independent of the age structure of the population, but it is a poorer estimate of actual completed family size than the total cohort ...
As of 2009, the average birth rate (unclear whether this is the weighted average rate per country [with each country getting a weight of 1], or the unweighted average of the entire world population) for the whole world is 19.95 per year per 1000 total population, a 0.48% decline from 2003's world birth rate of 20.43 per 1000 total population.
