Which countries have fertility rates above or below the “replacement level”?

Fertility rates — which measure the average number of children per woman — have been falling worldwide. Since 1950, global fertility rates have halved, from almost 5 children per woman to 2.3.

As a result, global population growth has slowed dramatically, and many countries’ populations are expected to decline by the end of the century.
