This is a list of the states and union territories of India ranked in order of number of children born for each woman. Recent surveys show that in majority of Indian states, fertility rate has fallen well below the replacement level of 2.1 and the country is fast approaching the replacement level itself. [ 1 ]
In 2016, the total fertility rate of India was 2.30 births per woman [6] and 15.6 million abortions performed, with an abortion rate of 47.0 abortions per 1000 women aged between 15 and 49 years. [7] With high abortions rates follows a high number of unintended pregnancies, with a rate of 70.1 unintended pregnancies per 1000 women aged 15–49 ...
Replacement fertility is the total fertility rate at which women give birth to enough babies to sustain population levels, assuming that mortality rates remain constant and net migration is zero. [10] If replacement level fertility is sustained over a sufficiently long period, each generation will exactly replace itself. [10]
A 2023 map of countries by fertility rate. Blue indicates negative fertility rates. Red indicates positive rates. The total fertility rate (TFR) of a population is the average number of children that are born to a woman over her lifetime, if they were to experience the exact current age-specific fertility rates (ASFRs) through their lifetime, and they were to live from birth until the end of ...
A map of when European fertility rates fell below replacement levels Map of countries by crude birth rate. Map of countries by total fertility rate. Sub-replacement fertility is a total fertility rate (TFR) that (if sustained) leads to each new generation being less populous than the older, previous one in a given area.
Currently, 757 million humans live in the 101 largest cities; [40] these cities are home to 11% of the world's population. [40] By the end of the century, the world population is projected to grow, with estimates ranging from 6.9 billion to 13.1 billion; [ 40 ] the percentage of people living in the 101 largest cities is estimated to be 15% to 23%.
CBR = crude birth rate (per 1000); TFR = total fertility rate (number of children per woman). 1 Number in parentheses represents the wanted fertility rate. Fertility rate and wanted Fertility rate by State and UT (2015-2016) as per the NFHS-4 data.
The latest round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), conducted from 2019-2021, has shown a notable change in fertility trends in India. The Total Fertility Rate (TFR), which measures the average number of children per woman, has dropped below the replacement level of 2.1 respectively. Specifically, among Hindus, the TFR stands at 1.9 ...
