In 2018, the number of families with children aged 17 or under in Finland decreased from the previous year irrespective of their size. This downward trend is generally reflected in the decreasing number of families and family population. The average number of children in families remained at the same level of 1.85 children per family in 2017 and 2018.

The source adds the following information: "Family statistics represent a cross-section of the situation at a given moment, i.e. the sizes of families in the country at a given point in time, and not the eventual numbers of children in families. Also, the average number of children in a family with underage children is not directly comparable at different points in time, because the sizes of the age groups at various stages of family life vary".
