The total fertility rate of the world has dropped from around 5 children per woman in 1950, to 2.2 children per woman in 2025, which means that women today are having fewer than half the number of children that women did 75 years ago. Replacement level fertility This change has come as a result of the global demographic transition, and is influenced by factors such as the significant reduction in infant and child mortality, reduced number of child marriages, increased educational and vocational opportunities for women, and the increased efficacy and availability of contraception. While this change has become synonymous with societal progress, it does have wide-reaching demographic impact - if the global average falls below replacement level (roughly 2.1 children per woman), as is expected to happen in the 2050s, then this will lead to long-term population decline on a global scale. Regional variations When broken down by continent, Africa is the only region with a fertility rate above the global average, and, alongside Oceania, it is the only region with a fertility rate above replacement level. Until the 1980s, the average woman in Africa could expect to have 6-7 children over the course of their lifetime, and there are still several countries in Africa where women can still expect to have 5 or more children in 2025. Historically, Europe has had the lowest fertility rates in the world over the past century, falling below replacement level in 1975. Europe's population has grown through a combination of migration and increasing life expectancy, however even high immigration rates could not prevent its population from going into decline in 2021.

The statistic shows the 20 countries with the lowest fertility rates in 2024. All figures are estimates. In 2024, the fertility rate in Taiwan was estimated to be at 1.11 children per woman, making it the lowest fertility rate worldwide. Fertility rate The fertility rate is the average number of children born per woman of child-bearing age in a country. Usually, a woman aged between 15 and 45 is considered to be in her child-bearing years. The fertility rate of a country provides an insight into its economic state, as well as the level of health and education of its population. Developing countries usually have a higher fertility rate due to lack of access to birth control and contraception, and to women usually foregoing a higher education, or even any education at all, in favor of taking care of housework. Many families in poorer countries also need their children to help provide for the family by starting to work early and/or as caretakers for their parents in old age. In developed countries, fertility rates and birth rates are usually much lower, as birth control is easier to obtain and women often choose a career before becoming a mother. Additionally, if the number of women of child-bearing age declines, so does the fertility rate of a country. As can be seen above, countries like Hong Kong are a good example for women leaving the patriarchal structures and focusing on their own career instead of becoming a mother at a young age, causing a decline of the country’s fertility rate. A look at the fertility rate per woman worldwide by income group also shows that women with a low income tend to have more children than those with a high income. The United States are neither among the countries with the lowest, nor among those with the highest fertility rate, by the way. At 2.08 children per woman, the fertility rate in the US has been continuously slightly below the global average of about 2.4 children per woman over the last decade.

The fertility rate of a country is the average number of children that women from that country will have throughout their reproductive years. In Germany in 1800, the average woman of childbearing age would have 5.4 children over the course of their lifetime. It remained around this number until the late 1820s, when it then dropped to just under five, which was a long-term effect of the Napoleonic Period in Europe. From this point until the end of the nineteenth century, Germany's fertility rate was rather sporadic, reaching it's lowest point in 1855 with an average of 4.6 births per woman, and it's highest point in 1875 (just after the foundation of the German Empire in 1871), with an average of 5.4 live births per woman. From the beginning of the twentieth century until the end of the Second World War, Germany's fertility rate dropped from around 5 children per woman in 1900, to 1.9 in 1945. The only time where the fertility rate increased was in the inter-war years. Like other countries heavily involved in the Second World War, Germany (both East and West) experienced a Baby Boom from the late 1940s to the late 1960s, however it then dropped to it's lowest point of just 1.3 children per woman by 1995, shortly after the re-unification of Germany. In recent years, Germany's fertility rate has gradually been increasing again, and is expected to reach 1.6 in 2020, its highest rate in over forty years.

We focus on a high-income, low-fertility country Spain and estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on fertility. Spain was one of the two most COVID-19-affected countries in Europe and it imposed one of the strictest lockdowns on the continent. We exploit the unexpected announcement and immediate implementation of a strict, nationwide 8-week-long lockdown. We first predict the expected levels of fertility in the absence of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown by choosing from 14 competing models based on five cross-validation criteria. Then we calculate the differences between predicted and actual fertility levels 9 months after the lockdown. We find that overall, lockdown had a very negative effect on fertility (-14.6% in the two most affected months) while the post-lockdown relief led to an increased fertility (+5.7% during a 10-month period). The net effect is 1.6% but there is substantial heterogeneity between native (+4.7%) and foreign mothers (-16.9%).

Results of the measurement model analysis.

The report analyzes the questions on fertility issues included in the special Eurobarometer N. 253, wave 65.1 and 65.31, carried out in 2006 by TNS Opinion & Social, at the request of the European Commission, Directorate-General Communication, Opinion Polls. The aim of the report is to show the major trends in childbearing preferences and fertility attitudes by gender and across age groups or generations. The age differences may be interpreted either as a change over the life course of individuals, or as a discrepancy between people at different ages. As we do not have enough information to ascertain whether they are mostly age or cohort changes, we leave the interpretation to the reader, and we use the terms age and cohort in an interchangeable way. Following the basic distinction between quantum and tempo of fertility, we distinguish between family size preferences and the ideal time to have the first child. We group together at the end of the report all the items concerning childbearing and childrearing attitudes and orientations. A more general question related to the solutions of potential shortages in the work force, does not explicitly concern fertility issues, but is linked to the consequences of low fertility at societal level, i.e., population ageing. This is used as an introductory question to the report. #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: http://www.gesis.org/en/home/

Between 1939 and 1950, the Soviet Union's fertility rate underwent the most drastic change of all the major Allied Powers; falling from 4.9 births per woman in 1939 to just 1.7 births in 1943. In Russia alone, this decline was even greater, falling from 4.9 to 1.3 births in the same time period. After the war's conclusion in 1945, there was an observable increase in fertility in all the given countries, and this marked beginning of the global baby boom of the mid-twentieth century.

The average for 2022 based on 195 countries was 18.38 births per 1000 people. The highest value was in Niger: 45.03 births per 1000 people and the lowest value was in Hong Kong: 4.4 births per 1000 people. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2022. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

Statistical characteristics of the respondents.

Discriminant validity: Fornell-Larcker criterion.

The study charted Finnish people's values and attitudes. The themes of the Autumn 2020 survey included the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, financing the welfare state, happiness, equality, birth rate, and social problems. First, the respondents were presented with a variety of attitudinal statements concerning, among other topics, the Government's actions to combat COVID-19, politics, employment, reliability of information, and alcohol use. Next, the survey examined the respondents' attitudes towards rebalancing public finance after the COVID-19 pandemic. Opinions on financing the welfare state were also charted with various questions. For instance, it has been said that financing the welfare state requires that Finns must work more/longer in the future than they do at present, one way or other. Relating to this statement, the respondents were asked to evaluate whether several ways of achieving the goal of making Finns work more/longer were good or bad (e.g. increasing the number of weekly working hours or making it more difficult to take early retirement or get disability pension). Everyday well-being and happiness were also surveyed. The respondents were asked how happy they were at present and how satisfied they were with various matters, such as their income level, relationship status, and opportunities to influence in society. Questions also focused on what the respondents thought contributed to a happy life, for instance whether they thought that good relationships, health, social respect, interesting hobbies, or spirituality were prerequisites for happiness. Several questions charted views on equality and inequality among Finns (e.g. the presence of gender, generational, regional and occupational equality/inequality in Finland). Views on the reasons behind the low birth rate in Finland were examined next (e.g. whether the respondents thought unemployment or general uncertainty contributed to the low birth rate). The respondents were also asked which policy means they thought might be effective in increasing the birth rate. Social problems were examined with questions on whether the respondents had personally experienced or otherwise closely witnessed problems such as anxiety or depression, bullying, substance addiction, problem use of alcohol, or gambling problems, during the past few years. Finally, the respondents' views were surveyed regarding the impact of Donald Trump and his administration on, for instance, the global status of and respect for the United States. Opinions on Finland's EU membership and the euro as Finland's currency were also examined. Background variables included gender, age group, size of the respondent's municipality of residence, region of residence, employer type, employment status, type of employment contract, occupational group, employment sector, trade union membership, political party preference (which party the respondent would vote for), self-perceived social class, and annual income of the respondent's household.

ABSTRACT Background : The Covid-19 pandemic associated with the SARS-CoV-2 has caused very high death tolls in many countries, while it has had less prevalence in other countries of Africa and Asia. Climate and geographic conditions, as well as other epidemiologic and demographic conditions, were a matter of debate on whether or not they could have an effect on the prevalence of Covid-19. Objective : In the present work, we sought a possible relevance of the geographic location of a given country on its Covid-19 prevalence. On the other hand, we sought a possible relation between the history of epidemiologic and demographic conditions of the populations and the prevalence of Covid-19 across four continents (America, Europe, Africa, and Asia). We also searched for a possible impact of pre-pandemic alcohol consumption in each country on the two year death tolls across the four continents. Methods : We have sought the death toll caused by Covid-19 in 39 countries and obtained the registered deaths from specialized web pages. For every country in the study, we have analysed the correlation of the Covid-19 death numbers with its geographic latitude, and its associated climate conditions, such as the mean annual temperature, the average annual sunshine hours, and the average annual UV index. We also analyzed the correlation of the Covid-19 death numbers with epidemiologic conditions such as cancer score and Alzheimer score, and with demographic parameters such as birth rate, mortality rate, fertility rate, and the percentage of people aged 65 and above. In regard to consumption habits, we searched for a possible relation between alcohol intake levels per capita and the Covid-19 death numbers in each country. Correlation factors and determination factors, as well as analyses by simple linear regression and polynomial regression, were calculated or obtained by Microsoft Exell software (2016). Results : In the present study, higher numbers of deaths related to Covid-19 pandemic were registered in many countries in Europe and America compared to other countries in Africa and Asia. The analysis by polynomial regression generated an inverted bell-shaped curve and a significant correlation between the Covid-19 death numbers and the geographic latitude of each country in our study. Higher death numbers were registered in the higher geographic latitudes of both hemispheres, while lower scores of deaths were registered in countries located around the equator line. In a bell shaped curve, the latitude levels were negatively correlated to the average annual levels (last 10 years) of temperatures, sunshine hours, and UV index of each country, with the highest scores of each climate parameter being registered around the equator line, while lower levels of temperature, sunshine hours, and UV index were registered in higher latitude countries. In addition, the linear regression analysis showed that the Covid-19 death numbers registered in the 39 countries of our study were negatively correlated with the three climate factors of our study, with the temperature as the main negatively correlated factor with Covid-19 deaths. On the other hand, cancer and Alzheimer's disease scores, as well as advanced age and alcohol intake, were positively correlated to Covid-19 deaths, and inverted bell-shaped curves were obtained when expressing the above parameters against a country’s latitude. Instead, the (birth rate/mortality rate) ratio and fertility rate were negatively correlated to Covid-19 deaths, and their values gave bell-shaped curves when expressed against a country’s latitude. Conclusion : The results of the present study prove that the climate parameters and history of epidemiologic and demographic conditions as well as nutrition habits are very correlated with Covid-19 prevalence. The results of the present study prove that low levels of temperature, sunshine hours, and UV index, as well as negative epidemiologic and demographic conditions and high scores of alcohol intake may worsen Covid-19 prevalence in many countries of the northern hemisphere, and this phenomenon could explain their high Covid-19 death tolls. Keywords : Covid-19, Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, climate, temperature, sunshine hours, UV index, cancer, Alzheimer disease, alcohol.

Using pre-industrial rural Estonia as an example, the article studies fertility response to short-term economic stress in a manorial society in eastern Europe. It considers whether the fertility response to rye price fluctuations was deliberate and whether it was socially differentiated. It appears that an increase in the price of rye resulted in the drop of conceptions within the next year and the magnitude of the impact on fertility was roughly similar to that in several other European settings in the 19th century. As long as the manorial system was maintained, farmers were more sensitive to price hikes than the landless, but with the decline of the mutual economic dependence between manors and farms, the landless laborers became more vulnerable to price increases. Our analysis of the timing of the fertility response reveals no deliberate postponement of conceptions immediately before or after the low harvests or price increases. Instead, conceptions dropped only in the spring and summer season of the next year, indicating a non-deliberate and spontaneous response.

Niger had the highest birth rate in the world in 2024, with a birth rate of 46.6 births per 1,000 inhabitants. Angola, Benin, Mali, and Uganda followed. Except for Afghanistan, all 20 countries with the highest birth rates in the world were located in Sub-Saharan Africa. High infant mortality The reasons behind the high birth rates in many Sub-Saharan African countries are manyfold, but a major reason is that infant mortality remains high on the continent, despite decreasing steadily over the past decades, resulting in high birth rates to counter death rates. Moreover, many nations in Sub-Saharan Africa are highly reliant on small-scale farming, meaning that more hands are of importance. Additionally, polygamy is not uncommon in the region, and having many children is often seen as a symbol of status. Fastest-growing populations As the high fertility rates coincide with decreasing death rates, countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have the highest population growth rates in the world. As a result, Africa's population is forecast to increase from 1.4 billion in 2022 to over 3.9 billion by 2100.

The growing lifestyle diseases is notably driving the infertility drugs market growth, although factors such as rising inclination toward other modes of treatment for infertility may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the infertility drugs industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Infertility Drugs Market Driver

The rising trend of late parenthood is a key driving factor impacting the global infertility drugs market growth. Increased age of parenthood is one of the major factors leading to the infertility problem in the present generation. In fact, it has severely affected European countries and some Asian countries such as Japan. This growing trend of late motherhood is against the natural range of fertile years for women, which significantly brightens the prospects for the global infertility drugs market. Factors such as the growing use of various contraceptive technologies, increasing focus on higher education and career, and urbanization have led to the rising median age of first pregnancy, leading to falling fertility rates. Globally, more women are working than ever before, which has also increased the average age of conceiving a child. Such factors are creating more complications and often lead to infertility.

Key Infertility Drugs Market Trend

Raising awareness regarding infertility in couples is a key trend impacting the global infertility drugs market growth. There is growing awareness about sexual health, such as fertility issues across the globe. This is expected to act as a positive trend in the infertility treatment industry. Different government and non-government organizations across the globe are supporting the couples to come forward and discuss their problems and seek professional help to tackle their issues. For instance, the International Fertility Alliance (IFA) is on a mission to spread awareness about fertility issues and provide support to people with fertility-related issues. Additionally, the National Fertility Association founded the National Infertility Awareness Week, which focuses on providing the right information and answering queries about infertility.

Key Infertility Drugs Market Challenge

The rising inclination toward other modes of treatment for infertility is a key challenge negatively impacting the global infertility drugs market growth. Rising preference for other modes of treatment such as assisted reproductive technology (ART) is posing tough competition for the infertility drugs market. In developed countries, couples having problems conceiving children are inclining toward ART. IVF is the most adopted form of ART treatment. Some of the other forms of treatment for infertility are listed below. Artificial insemination/Intrauterine insemination (IUI) involves direct injection of sperm into the uterus via a thin, flexible catheter. Couples that face low sperm count in the male partner opt for such treatments.

This infertility drugs market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.

We analysed effects of females’ body mass and age on reproductive capacity of European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in a large sample set of 1312 females (305 yearlings and 1007 adults), hunted throughout Slovenia, central Europe, in the period 2013–2015. Body mass positively affected probability of ovulation and potential litter size (number of corpora lutea), although its effect was more pronounced in yearlings than in adults. Between age groups, we found clear differences in responses of both reproductive parameters to body mass which influences primarily reproductive performance of younger, and in particular, lighter individuals: at the same body mass yearlings would at average have smaller litters than adults, and at lower body mass also young to middle-aged adults would have smaller litters than old ones. In addition, while yearlings have to reach a critical threshold body mass to attain reproductive maturity, adult females are fertile (produce ova) even at low body mass. However, at higher body mass also younger individuals shift their efforts into the reproduction, and after reaching an age-specific threshold the body mass does not have any further effects on the reproductive output of roe deer females. Increased reproductive capacity at more advanced age, combined with declining body mass suggests that old does allocate more of their resources in reproduction than in body condition.

In 2021, there were **** births per 1,000 people in Northern Ireland, compared with eleven in the previous year. Between 2000 and 2008, Northern Ireland's birth rate increased from **** to **** but started to decline gradually until 2012 when it dropped from **** to **** in just one year. During this provided time period, the birth rate in Northern Ireland was highest in 1971, when it was **** and was at its lowest in 2020 when there were just eleven births per 1,000 people. Falling birth rates in the UK For the United Kingdom as a whole, the birth rate fell to **** births per 1,000 people in 2020, before a slight uptick to **** in 2021. After a postwar peak of **** births per 1,000 people in 1964, the UK birth rate fell sharply to just **** by 1977. Between 1977 and 2012 the birth rate fluctuated between **** and ****, but declined in every year between 2012 and 2020. In 2021, the UK's fertility rate (the number of births per women) fell to just ****, compared with **** in 1964. Since 1973, the UK has fallen below the minimum replacement level fertility rate of ***, and without immigration would likely see its population decline in the long term. Global demographic trends The considerable decline in the UK's fertility rate in recent decades is not an isolated phenomenon. As of 2024, Africa was, at ****, the only continent to have a fertility rate higher than the global average of ****. Several countries, mainly in East Asia and Europe, have far lower fertility rates than the UK or the global average, however. South Korea provides the most dramatic example of this trend, with its fertility rate falling from **** in 1960 to just **** by 2020. By the *****, it is expected that, as Africa's fertility rate converges with the rest of the world, the global population will peak at around **** billion and start to decline.

The market size was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2021 and will be 2.2 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period. Factors Affecting Infertility TreatmentMarket Growth

Increasing frequency of the infertility

The demand for infertility is growing in male and females that result in an increasing demand for sterile treatment, Delayed parenthood, sexual transmission disease, aging, lifestyles are the factors that impact infertility. Therefore, there is faster growth in this field.

The Restraining Factor of Infertility Treatment:

High cost associated with treatment 

It is anticipated that barriers to market expansion will include high costs associated with research and development capabilities, a lack of adequate infrastructure, and increased complexity and concerns surrounding assisted reproductive technology (ART). In addition, during the forecast period of 2022–2029, the market is anticipated to face challenges from an unfavourable reimbursement scenario, a lack of technology penetration in developing economies, high costs associated with assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures, and an inadequate infrastructure in low- and middle-income nations. This hampers the infertility market.

Opportunities on Infertility Treatment

Developing economies in APAC and RoW:

Market participants for infertility treatments can anticipate finding significant growth opportunities in developing nations like China, India, Brazil, and Mexico. The Asia market is different from other growing nations, due to greater focus on infrastructure upgrades in the healthcare sector. For a variety of reasons, the medical tourism industry is also booming in developing countries. The quality of the healthcare facilities in Asia is very excellent.

Emerging markets including India, China, Singapore, Thailand, Brazil, and Malaysia offer promising opportunities for the growth of the global market.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Infertility Treatment Market:

The market has been negatively impacted by COVID-19. The market growth rate was slowed down as attention was diverted from non-essential healthcare services to meet COVID-19 patient expectations. Guidelines were established to prevent front-line hospital and public employees from contracting the COVID-19 virus. Due to the cancellation of in vitro fertilisation procedures, 90% decrease in the number of people having in vitro fertilisation cycles was seen during this pandemic phase. The infertility market growth rate was hampered as a result of everything. Introduction of Infertility Treatment

Infertility means a woman is not able to conceive after trying for more than a year. Infertility occurs when a woman can become pregnant but tends to experience miscarriages. Infertility treatment largely depends on the underlying cause and objectives. A treatment will be chosen for you based on your age, length of infertility treatment, and personal preferences. Sometimes only one person needs treatment, and other times both spouses must participate. In most circumstances, infertile individuals and couples have a high possibility of getting pregnant. The use of assisted reproductive technology (ART), surgery, or medication can be beneficial.

The global clomiphene market is experiencing robust growth, driven by rising infertility rates worldwide and increasing awareness of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The market size in 2025 is estimated at $500 million, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6% during the forecast period (2025-2033). This growth is fueled by several factors, including the increasing prevalence of ovulatory disorders among women, advancements in fertility treatments incorporating clomiphene, and expanding access to healthcare in developing economies. The demand for clomiphene is largely driven by its efficacy and relatively lower cost compared to other fertility medications. Different formulations, such as tablets and capsules, cater to diverse patient preferences and treatment protocols. The segment for treating anovulatory infertility holds the largest market share, reflecting the significant unmet medical need in this area. However, the market faces certain restraints, primarily the potential side effects associated with clomiphene use, such as visual disturbances and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Stringent regulatory approvals and the increasing popularity of alternative fertility treatments also pose challenges to market growth. Nevertheless, ongoing research and development efforts focused on improving the safety profile and efficacy of clomiphene, alongside targeted marketing strategies highlighting its benefits, are expected to mitigate these limitations and contribute to sustained market expansion. Major players like Sanofi and EMD Serono are leading the market, shaping its trajectory through strategic partnerships and investments in research and development. Regional market dynamics vary, with North America and Europe currently holding significant shares, while Asia Pacific shows promising growth potential due to rising healthcare spending and growing awareness of fertility issues.
