The number of births a population has each year is an important indicator of population growth, which can impact health systems, policy decisions and the economy. 1 A fertility rate is the number of babies born to women of childbearing age in a given population. Sustained low fertility rates may indicate that the population is aging; sustained high fertility rates may predict a younger population.

The birth rate for teenagers aged 15–19 declined 7% from 2020 to 2021 (15.0 to 13.9 per 1,000 births); this rate declined by 10% from 2019 to 2020 (Figure 2).
