|
| With the increased age of the mother at child birth and decreased family size, the total fertility rate in Canada is declining. |
|
| Thus, the general fertility rate is a better basis to compare fertility levels among populations than are changes in the crude birth rate. |
|
| With a fertility rate of 1.5 children per woman, our country will soon be confronted with major socio-economic problems. |

|
| As a small country faced with a fertility rate that is below replacement, it is important to open our doors to foreigners and immigrants who can contribute to Singapore. |
|
| Considering the broader societal context, Canada has been witnessing unprecedented low fertility, with Canada's total fertility rate hovering at only about 1.5 births per woman. |

|
| In America the fertility rate of recent immigrants tends to be higher than that of native population. |
|
| The total fertility rate of the Faroe Islands is currently one of the highest in Europe. |
|
|
|
| Replacement fertility is the total fertility rate at which women give birth to enough babies to sustain population levels. |
|
| In the United States, our fertility rate has fallen below the replacement rate as well. |
|
| Developed countries usually have a much lower fertility rate, often correlated with greater wealth, education, urbanization, or other factors. |
|
| This deceleration in the pace of growth is owed in large measure to the drop in the fertility rate between 1970 and 2002, from 5.8 to 2.15 children per woman in child-bearing age. |
|
| In regions of extreme poverty, the fertility rate plays a key role in a vicious cycle of economic underdevelopment and inequality between the sexes. |
|
| But these species are especially vulnerable to overfishing, since they are long-lived, slow to reach sexual maturity, have long gestation periods and a low fertility rate. |
|
| For example, if the total fertility rate for a country or region was actually measured only in 1980 and in 1995, by assuming even increments from year to year, it is possible to interpolate a TFR for each intervening year. |
|
| Given an annual population growth rate of less than 1 per cent and a total fertility rate of 1.8 children per woman, the country is headed towards population stabilization. |
|
| The total fertility rate is 4.4 children per woman, with significant differences between indigenous and nonindigenous women, rural and urban women, and rich and poor women. |
|
| With an annual population growth rate of 1.4 per cent, a total fertility rate of 2.5 children per woman, and an age at first marriage of 30 years, Morocco is in the final phase of its demographic transition. |
|
| However, in the province of Bolzano, between 1957 and 1995, the German and Ladin speaking communities have always enjoyed a sensibly higher fertility rate relatively to the Italian speaking community. |
|
| The new fertility rate lies between Tanzania and Iraq. |
|
| The fertility rate is now just slightly more than two. |
|
| There are even some items whose link with both dimensions is questionable or at least of indeterminate sign: is a high fertility rate a good thing for sustainability? |
|
| The country faces growing population pressure, with roughly 1.7 million live births occurring annually, despite modest declines in the growth rate and a reduction in the total fertility rate. |
|
| Population ageing, or the growing ratio of elderly people in the population, is e.g. the result of both a decreasing fertility rate and the sustained prolongation of life expectancy. |
|
| Vaccination coverage for children and mothers was very low and there was little practice of family planning methods, although the fertility rate was among the highest in the country. |
|
| It asserted that fertility rate of teenage and young mums has not increased with the baby bonus introduction. |
|
| However, the total fertility rate is still far below the replacement level fertility. |
|
| The death rates of the pups is surpassing the fertility rate by far. |
|
|
|
| However, it may take several generations for a change in the total fertility rate to be reflected in birth rate, because the age distribution must reach equilibrium. |
|
| Table 1 shows that marital status tends to explain the greatest proportion of change in both the general fertility rate and the crude birth rate during the period under study. |
|
| Population aging and population decline may eventually occur, assuming that the fertility rate does not change and sustained mass immigration does not occur. |
|
| Developed countries usually have a significantly lower fertility rate, often correlated with greater wealth, education, urbanization, or other factors. |
|
| Despite a gradual decline in the Total Fertility Rate, currently close to 4, Pakistan has been a laggard in achieving a breakthrough on this front. |
