List of countries by birth rate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of countries by crude birth rate, based on the United Nations Population Division's quinquennial estimates and projections.[1][2] Figures are for the period 2005-2010 using the medium assumption. Crude birth rate refers to the number of births over a given period divided by the person-years lived by the population over that period. It is expressed as number of births per 1,000 population. The average crude birth rate for the entire world is 20.3 births per 1,000 population.
