In 2008, the world average fertility rate is 2.58, and the US average is 2.10. Mali in Western Africa has the highest at 7.34, though more than 10% of those die as infants. Hong Kong has the lowest, at 1.00, due to their law preventing overpopulation.[1]

The average number of children a woman has in her lifetime is called the total fertility rate (TFR). This rate varies globally and is influenced by factors such as economic conditions, cultural norms, and access to contraceptive methods. It is usually expressed as a decimal number representing the average number of children born to a woman over her reproductive years.
