Select figure:  1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13  | 14 | 15
 

Key result: In the great majority of countries total fertility will be below 2.1 children per woman in 2100.

Using annually interpolated population and total fertility estimates and projections this figure displays the number of countries by level of total fertility from 1950 to 2100.
