This indicator measures for a specific year the average number of children a woman would have if she were to live through her entire childbearing years and give birth according to the current age-specific fertility rates. This variable is expressed in terms of children per woman.
Coding rules
- The total fertility rate for a given year is defined as the average number of children a woman would have if she were to live through her entire childbearing years and bear children according to the prevailing age-specific fertility rates. It is calculated by summing the age-specific fertility rates, typically measured in five-year intervals. Assuming no net migration and constant mortality rates, a total fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman generally results in a stable population. Along with mortality and migration, fertility is a key factor in population growth, reflecting both the drivers and outcomes of economic and social changes.
- Teorell et al. (2024:327) defines the variable as "Total fertility rates, number of children born to women aged 15 to 49".
