| In 1990 the continent's total fertility rate was over six, compared with two in East Asia. |
|
| The population is growing at an annual rate of 1.8 per cent, and the total fertility rate is 3.3 children per woman. |
|
| The PRSP monitoring plan did identify total fertility rate and contraceptive prevalence rate as indicators. |
|
| Although the annual growth rate and total fertility rate are high, they are declining. |
|
| Why do you think these two variables were selected, as opposed to other variables such as birth rate or total fertility rate? |
|
| Indeed, the total fertility rate for the EU has fallen from 2.59 in 1960 to 1.45 in 1998, now among the lowest fertility rates in the world. |
|
| Between 1994 and 2003, the total fertility rate plateaued at 3.3 children per woman. |
|
| The same may be true of Canada, despite the fact that its total fertility rate is significantly lower than the US one. |
|
| In that same 40 years, Malawi's population quadrupled, and the total fertility rate now averages six children per woman. |
|
| With the increased age of the mother at child birth and decreased family size, the total fertility rate in Canada is declining. |
|
| 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. |
|
| However, the total fertility rate is still far below the replacement level fertility. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Today, the global total fertility rate stands at 2.5 children-not far above the replacement fertility rate of 2.1 children that would prevail worldwide if there were no significant infant and child mortality. |
|
|
|
| That has a short-term effect on the total fertility rate. |
|
| A total fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman ensures broad stability of the population, on the assumptions of no migration flows and unchanged mortality rates. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 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. |
