The total fertility rate in Ghana saw no significant changes in 2022 in comparison to the previous year 2021 and remained at around 3.51 children per woman. But still, the fertility rate reached its lowest value of the observation period in 2022. 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.
