The total fertility rate in Azerbaijan decreased by 0.1 children per woman (-5.99 percent) in 2023 in comparison to the previous year. The total fertility rate is the average number of children that a woman of childbearing age (generally considered 15 to 44 years) is expected to have throughout her reproductive years. Unlike birth rates, which are based on the actual number of live births in a given population, fertility rates are estimates (similar to life expectancy) that apply to a hypothetical woman, as they assume that current patterns in age-specific fertility will remain constant throughout her reproductive years.Find more statistics on other topics about Azerbaijan with key insights such as crude birth rate, infant mortality rate, and total life expectancy at birth.
