The vast majority of the countries in the world with the highest fertility rates are in
Africa, with
Niger topping the list at 7.153 children per woman, followed by
Somalia at 6.123 children per woman. The Democratic Republic of Congo,
Mali and
Chad follow at 5.963, 5.922 and 5.797 children per woman, respectively. The North African country of
Tunisia has the lowest fertility rate on the continent at 2.147 children per woman – a figure that puts it roughly in the middle of the two hundred countries listed.
The Southeast Asian island nation of Timor-Leste also makes it into the top ten, with a fertility rate of 5.337 children per woman, while other island nations, such as Sao Tome and Principe (4.361 children per woman) and the
Solomon Islands (3.77 children per woman) are also within the top fifty countries with the highest fertility rates. In
Europe,
Ireland and
France have the highest fertility rates (at 1.98 and 1.973 children per woman), while the
United States averages 1.886 children per woman.
Two of the most densely populated countries in the world –
China and
India – have fertility rates on the lower end of the scale. At 2.303 children per woman, India ranks at number 94 on the list, while China is much lower at 1.635 children per woman. However, both of these figures are likely to be affected by government policies and cultural expectations around reproduction in these countries.
Taiwan has the lowest fertility rate in the world at 1.218 children per woman, closely followed by
Moldova and
Portugal, where there are, on average, 1.23 and 1.241 children per woman.
