A recent article which stated on the fertility rates for all countries in the world was published on the Central Intelligence Agency’s website.
The Total Fertility rate (TFR) compares figures for the average number of children that would be born per woman if all women lived to the end of their childbearing years and bore children according to a given fertility rate at each age. TFR is a more direct measure of the level of fertility than the crude birth rate, since it refers to births per woman.
There were 228 countries which were rated and the top country with the highest TFR rate was Nigeria.
Scoring the lowest of the lot was Singapore with a TFR rate of only 0.87 which means that an average Singaporean woman would only give birth to 0.87 rate of a child which make it the lowest in the world. Singapore was even lower then Taiwan and Macau who were 226 and 227 respectively.
