Fertility refers to the ability of individuals or populations to reproduce and contribute to the growth of a population. It is typically measured by the number of live births within a given population, often expressed through various indicators such as the Total Fertility Rate (TFR), which reflects the average number of children a woman is expected to have during her reproductive years based on current birth rates. Fertility is influenced by biological, social, economic, and cultural factors, including access to healthcare, family planning, education, economic conditions, and societal norms surrounding marriage and childbearing.
In demographic studies, fertility plays a crucial role in understanding population dynamics and predicting future population growth or decline. High fertility rates are often associated with younger populations and rapid growth. In contrast, low fertility rates can indicate ageing populations and potential long-term economic and social challenges related to workforce shortages and ageing care.
