List of countries and territories by fertility rate

This page consists of two tables. Table 1 is sourced from the CIA World Factbook'''. It is a list of countries by total fertility rate (TFR): the expected number of children born per woman in her child-bearing years, based on 2007 age-specific fertility rate data. Sovereign states are ranked. Some countries might not be listed because they are not fully recognized as countries at the time of this census.

Table 2 is sourced from the United Nations World Population Prospects: 2006 revision – Table A.15.
