A pair of series

Birth rate and fertility

Births per 1,000 people beside children per woman. Two ways to count new people — not interchangeable.

Birth rate can fall while Fertility is flat if the population ages. For the stock, still read Population and Net migration.

Birth rate

Live births per 1,000 people. Not [fertility] — one year, one rate.

The file

Live births per 1,000 people in a given year. Annual from 1960; same geos as Fertility.

The indicator

SP.DYN.CBRT.IN is a flow rate, not children per woman. Rising Fertility and falling population can still mean a lower birth rate.

What the numbers show

Poland fell from ~16 to ~8 per 1,000; Germany and the US are lower still. Read with Fertility, Births (GUS) and Maternal mortality.

Fertility

Children per woman. Poland 1.14 — below replacement, like DE and the US.

The file

Total fertility rate, children per woman, annual from 1960.

The indicator

SP.DYN.TFRT.IN is a hypothetical lifetime average, not births this year. For the stock you still need Population.

What the numbers show

Replacement is about 2.1. Poland fell from ~3.0 to 1.14; Germany 1.36; US 1.63; world 2.19. That is the main future drag, before Net migration.
