🇨🇫Central African Republic fertility (2024)

Central African Republic's fertility rate is 5.95 as of 2024 — the average number of children a woman would have over her lifetime at current age-specific rates. That places Central African Republic 4 of 217 countries with recent data. The world figure for the same period is 2.19. Comparable figures begin in 1960, when the value was 5.95. Period TFR describes one year's schedule of births, not the completed families of women now finishing childbearing. Replacement is about 2.1 in low-mortality countries; a year or two of movement is usually timing, not a new regime. Subnational maps and official group splits (where they exist) matter more than the national average for schools and politics.
