Fertility rate in South Korea
The total fertility rate in South Korea decreased to 0.78 children per woman compared to the previous year. Therefore, 2022 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.
