Explain a high versus a low total fertility rate, and give examples

What will be an ideal response?


The TFR is a synthetic number that measures the fertility of a statistically fictitious, yet average
group of women as they move through their childbearing years. In practice, it refers to the
average number of births for a woman in a particular location. A high TFR, e.g., is Nigeria's 5.5;
a low TFR, e.g., is Japan's 1.4; it is commonly thought that the replacement TFR is around 2.1.
