A population's fertility rate is most commonly calculated as Total Total Fertility Rate or TFR for short. The Total Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is a standard demographic indicator that is used internationally to estimate the average number of children born per woman in a population. It is calculated by adding up all the age-specific fertility rates, multiplying this sum by five (the width of the age-group interval), and then dividing by 1,000.
Total Total Fertility Rate = (Sum of ASFR x 5 ) / 1,000Data found on this page is based on the medium fertility variant of the United Nations Revision of World Population Prospects 2024.
