Although fluctuating between 2000 and 2024, fertility rates generally decreased in all G7 countries in recent years. Italy and Japan were estimated to have the lowest fertility rates as of 2024 at 1.2 children per woman in child-bearing age. On the other hand, France had the highest rate at 1.6 children. Interestingly, in Germany, the fertility rate was at the same level as Japan and Italy, but started to increase in 2013 and has remained slightly higher since.
The fertility rate displays the average number of children a woman in child-bearing age in a country would have if she were to live to the end of her reproductive age.
