Fertility
The total fertility rate (TFR) gives an indication of the number of children an average woman will have in her lifetime.The size of the population remains stable if the total fertility rate is a little over two, allowing for some mortality during infancy and childhood. This so-called replacement rate is around 2.1 children per women for industrialised countries but it may be higher for poorer countries.
