The info I saw on Saudi and Indonesia showed they were hovering just above it, i may have seen a dated number. But yeah, Africa probably is were 90% of the countries above replacement rate are...
My figures are from the 2024 CIA Factbook. In order 2.03, 1.96, 1.79, and 1.87. I'm not perfectly happy with their statistics, they vary from what I read in other places... but I am planning on doing the seventh episode on my series on human fertility, and I have used their statistics from the beginning in 2010. I appreciated your article; it offered valuable advice.
Thank you, David. I got those from the World Bank, but either way, the general trend is the same. I believe El Aleph is your blog? It seems that, besides population trends, we also share an interest in Jorge Luis Borges.
One thing to consider: India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia are all below replacement rate.
