Коэффициент рождаемости, всего (рождений на одну женщину) Рейтинг

The birth rate is an indicator showing the number of children a woman is expected to have over her lifetime. The global average is approximately 2.3, but this varies significantly by country. Developing countries such as African nations and Afghanistan show high birth rates exceeding 5, characterized by young population structures. Conversely, developed countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Germany have low birth rates of 1.3 or below, with aging and declining populations progressing. Birth rates are influenced by factors including education levels, women's employment opportunities, access to contraception, and economic development level.
