List of countries by net reproduction rate

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The following list sorts countries and dependent territories by their net reproduction rate. The net reproduction rate (R0) is the number of surviving daughters per woman and an important indicator of the population's reproductive rate. If R0 is one, the population replaces itself and would stay without any migration and emigration at a stable level. If the R0 is less than one, the reproductive performance of the population is below replacement level.
