What Does TFR Stand For?
TFR stands for Total Fertility Rate
Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is a demographic measure that estimates the average number of children a woman would have during her reproductive years, typically defined as ages 15 to 49. TFR is used to assess population growth and reproductive behavior within a specific population, providing insights into trends in family size, childbearing patterns, and potential implications for social and economic planning. A TFR of approximately 2.1 is considered the replacement level, necessary for a population to maintain its size in the absence of immigration.
