Quick Glance: Global decline in fertility rates, burden shifting to poorer countries
- The global fertility rate - the average number of births per woman - has decreased from about 5 children in 1950 to 2.2 in 2021, as indicated by the data.
- A study suggests that almost all countries will have fertility rates by the end of the century that are too low to maintain population levels, with most live births worldwide occurring in poorer countries.
- The predictions are based on surveys, censuses, and various data sources collected from 1950 to 2021 as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study.
- By the end of the century, more than three-quarters of live births will take place in low- and lower-middle-income countries, with over half occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, according to researchers.
