Fertility rate in New Zealand 2020
The total fertility rate in New Zealand decreased by 0.1 children per woman (-5.81 percent) in 2020 in comparison to the previous year. The fertility rate thereby reached its lowest value in recent years.
The total fertility rate is the average number of children that a woman of childbearing age (generally considered 15 to 44 years) can hypothetically expect to have throughout her reproductive years. As fertility rates are estimates (similar to life expectancy), they refer to a hypothetical woman or cohort, and estimates assume that current age-specific fertility trends would remain constant throughout this person's reproductive years.
