Age-Specific Fertility Rates for Countries
of the World
? Graphic presentation of age-specific fertility rates available in
the 1960s and most recent date for countries of the world.
? Table containing fertility statistics used in the graph for indicated
years together with data code for countries of the world.
? Sources from which fertility statistics are obtained or derived.
Prepared for the Office of Population, Agency for International Development August 1977
AGE-SPECIFIC FERTILITY RATES FOR COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD
1965 and Most Recent Date
(In preparing the chart, an attempt was made to obtain data for 1965 and for the most recent year during the 1970's for which data were
available. Where data for 1965 were not available, those for some other year during the 1960's were used. Comparisons between the two
sets of data give some measure of what has happened to fertility during the last decade when family planning programs have expanded
rapidly. Where data were available for one but not both periods, only one set of rates is shown.)

age-specific fertility rates are available for two points in time at least five years apart, indicate declining fertility. In at least
thirteen developed countries, the total fertility rates during the early 1970's fell below replacement level - less than two
children per woman. Data for 25 less developed countries indicate an average reduction of more than one birth per woman
during a span of less than one decade. In countries such as Mauritius, Reunion, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican
Republic, Virgin Islands, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand, a fertility decline of more than 1.5 births per woman
occurred. In almost all these less developed countries where there has been a rapid reduction in fertility, family planning
programs have greatly increased availability of contraceptive means and services.

by competent demographers. The fertility rates and sources for each country are given on the reverse side of this chart. Such
demographic data are ordinarily imperfect and must be used with caution. Improvements in methodology over the last
decade probably mean that in general recent data are more reliable than older data, but this generalization does not preclude
the likelihood that more recent surveys in some countries are in fact less reliable than older ones. In such cases, much detailed
analyses are needed. In the present graphic presentation, data do indicate a substantial global trend toward lower fertility,
particularly in the countries where organized efforts have been made to reduce fertility. With only few exceptions, mainly
East European countries where pronatalist policies have been recently promoted, the great majority of countries for which

In preparing this graphic presentation of age-specific fertility rates for all countries and territories of the world having at
least 20 thousand inhabitants in 1975, a thorough search has been made for empirical data assembled since 1960. Such data,
derived from complete vital registration systems, censuses and/or surveys, were found for 138 (72 percent) of the 192
countries included in this chart. For the 54 countries, mainly in Africa and Asia, having either grossly inadequate or non-
existent empirical data for providing usable age-specific rates, estimates of population size and crude birth rate for 1975 are
given. Except for the addition of Taiwan, the countries and territories are those recognized by the United Nations.
Age-specific fertility rates presented in this chart have been obtained from national statistical offices and reports prepared
