I live in Canada, if we spent less money on importing and supporting various groups of refugees and immigrants and gave tax incentives/grants to existing Canadians with children instead, perhaps our birth rates would go up. Also we then would not be complaining so much about loosing our culture! |

It seems that a lot of countries are in the process of disappearing. Pope Paul VI's "Humanae Vitae" was derided by progressive Europe, that now is in the process of disappearing. May be Africa is the future (see that China is also below replacement level). This is the consequence of demographic global policies of the rich countries of the West, mainly EE.UU. and Great Britain, throughout the 20th century. |

Cautious parents have one or two children in order to give them the best possible educations. Careless parents have as many children as they can, not caring about the future. As a result, strangely, cautious parents make weak nations while careless parents make strong nations. This paradox was observed by Paul Valéry. |

Norways total fertility rate was 1.96 in 2008. Not 1.78 as stated in the table.

Ok, there are hoo ha over the recent report that Malaysia's TFR is at 2.2, rather than 2.9 something. How can we confirm this fact? |

My country is so f-uped that people don't wanna breed anymore. Or Maybe for once in 5000 years, women of my nation feel liberated in this respect! |

It seems that even if you fix the numbers in error on this table the point is the same. Nations fail to follow God's general revelation from the Bible to keep personal responsibility, marriage, family, government and nationalism all in check by keeping corruption out of them. Those nations will be removed from history. Nations that heed God's advice are sustained within a four generational cycle so maybe poor people have more going for them than we think. |

Most of the data in this table is wrong. Check for example the latest TFR of UK or Sweden in their respective statistical office to confirm. UK is 1.95 in 2008, not 1.66. Sweden is 1.91, not 1.67. Finland is 1.85, not 1.73. |

CIA world factbook is not accurate. Fertility rate in Guatemala is 4.4. Where do they get their facts from! |

as shown in the data presented above, it is very alarming to see that the countries in the top ten highest fertlity rate are less developed countries... this means the low income per household is distributed to more people resulting to a very low per capita income... |

Poor people often need kids to help in farmland but also poor people tend to have low incomes so taking care of their children does not waste as much money. |

The CIA World Factbook has a mistake about Total fertility rate in Iran. All demographic sources give at least 2.33 (not 1.93). |
