Jul 12, 2024 · Birth rate, total. UN WPP. Number of births recorded annually, divided by population in that year. It is based on the civil calendar year, spanning from January 1 to December 31.

We modelled future population in reference and alternative scenarios as a function of fertility, migration, and mortality rates. We developed statistical models for completed cohort fertility at age 50 years (CCF50). Completed cohort fertility is much more stable over time than the period measure of the total fertility rate (TFR).

Apr 8, 2024 · Greece’s economy has rebounded in recent years, but falling birthrates are, according to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, a “national threat” and a “ticking time bomb” for pensions.

Within this region, TFR and education were positively associated, in contrast to all other regions (Fig. 2). This result is consistent with the reversal of TFR decline between 1975 and 2005 in Western countries at high (and increasing) values of the Human Development Index [7, 68, 69]. Also increasing immigration to W Europe may influence TFR (see ...
E and W Europe had similar average TFR, school years and religiosity, but E Europe had lower CPR and much lower GDP per capita. In contrast to W Europe, TFR in E Europe had no or weak relation to education (Fig. 2). History, post-Soviet economic uncertainty and low GDP per capita may account for higher mean mother’s age at childbirth in E Europe (;...
Among regions, Latin America and Asia are intermediate in TFR level and religiosity. Latin America had the second lowest GDP per capita and, perhaps surprisingly, the second highest CPR. In many countries, such as Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Mexico, family planning activities, policies or programs started and expanded in the 1960’s and 1970’s. ...
Arab States had the second highest TFR among the regions, low CPR, and an unusual combination of highest religiosity and second highest GDP per capita among the regions. In some countries, oil resources have led to wealth, but the mean for female school years is low (very low for some countries). Within the region TFR declined strongly with increas...
This region stands out with much higher TFR and markedly lower CPR than in the other five regions. The level of religiosity is high, similar to Arab States, but GDP per capita is much lower. Within Sub-Saharan Africa, TFR is strikingly negatively correlated with education, GDP and CPR, which all may affect TFR. Two ‘natural experiments’, involving ...
Among regions, Asia resembled Latin America in TFR, GDP per capita and religiosity, though with lower average CPR (Fig. 1). Within Asia, lower TFR was associated with longer female education and higher GDP, and especially with higher CPR. As in Latin America, several countries with TFR below replacement level had CPR values above 70% (Thailand, Sou...
To help clarify factors of likely importance for TFR in different global regions, we studied five potential major agents that could be quantified. Social norms are also important but often difficult to quantify. For example, large desired family size characterizes Sub-Saharan Africa. Korotayev et al. related this norm to polygyny, high status of ...

Feb 18, 2017 · This paper investigated the impact of the macroeconomic environment on family demographic outcomes in Greece at the macro level. We focused on the dynamic relationship between births, marriages, and economic indicators, using time-series data covering the period 1960–2014.

Feb 22, 2014 · The number of births fell further in younger women: births decreased by 31·8%, 23·2%, 10·6%, and 2·5% in women younger than 25 years, 25–29 years, 30–34 years, and 35–39 years, respectively. By contrast, fertility rate increased for women older than 40 years.
