Fertility rate in China 2000-2020
In 2020, the total fertility rate in China decreased by 0.2 children per woman (-13.33 percent) since 2019. This marks the lowest fertility rate during the observed period.
Total fertility rates refer to the average number of children that a woman of childbearing age (generally considered 15 to 44 years) can expect 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 hypothetical (similar to life expectancy), as they assume that current patterns in age-specific fertility will remain constant throughout a woman's reproductive years.
