About: Countries by Total Fertility Rate 2025
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by total fertility rate (average number of children born per woman) in 2025 according to UN World Population Prospects. Sub-Saharan African nations lead global fertility rankings — Niger's TFR of approximately 6.7 children per woman is the world's highest, underpinned by strong son preference, limited access to family planning, early marriage ages, and agricultural economies where children contribute labour value, though fertility rates across the region are gradually declining.
