@geodudex: Fertility rate refers to the average number of children a woman is expected to have over her lifetime within a given population. It is commonly used to assess population growth and demographic trends. A level of around 2.1 is generally considered sufficient to maintain a stable population in the absence of migration. When the fertility rate falls below 1, it indicates that each generation is significantly smaller than the previous one, leading to a rapid population decline, an aging demographic structure, and potential long-term economic and social challenges.
