Fertility rate in Senegal 2022

The total fertility rate in Senegal decreased by 0.1 children per woman (-2.28 percent) in 2022 in comparison to the previous year. This marks the lowest fertility rate during the observed period. Total fertility rates refer to the average number of children that a woman of childbearing age (generally considered 15 to 44 years) can expect to have throughout her reproductive years. Unlike birth rates, which are based on the actual number of live births in a given population, fertility rates are hypothetical (similar to life expectancy), as they assume that current patterns in age-specific fertility will remain constant throughout a woman's reproductive years.Find more statistics on other topics about Senegal with key insights such as death rate, infant mortality rate, and total life expectancy at birth.
