The average age of a girl's first period is 12 to 13 (12.5 years in the United States, [6] 12.72 in Canada, [7] 12.9 in the UK [8]) but, in postmenarchal girls, about 80% of the cycles are anovulatory in the first year after menarche, which declines to 50% in the third year, and to 10% by the sixth.

The following list sorts countries and dependent territories by their net reproduction rate.The net reproduction rate (R 0) is the number of surviving daughters per woman and an important indicator of the population's reproductive rate.
Population momentum occurs because it is not only the number of children per woman that determine population growth, but also the number of women in reproductive age. Eventually, when the fertility rate reaches the replacement rate and the population size of women in the reproductive age bracket stabilizes, the population achieves equilibrium ...
About 21.5 million women and girls of reproductive age live in states that ban abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, Census data shows.
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 ...
China’s population fell for the third consecutive year in 2024, ... The number of women of reproductive age in China is projected to fall by over two-thirds to under 100 million by the end of ...
The mean age at childbearing indicates the age of a woman at their childbearing events, if women were subject throughout their lives to the age-specific fertility rates observed in that given year. [1] In countries with very high fertility rates women can have their first child at a much younger age than the mean age at childbearing.
One disadvantage of this indicator is that it is influenced by the age structure of the population. General fertility rate (GFR) - the number of births in a year divided by the number of women aged 15–44, times 1000. It focuses on the potential mothers only, and takes the age distribution into account.
