🇪🇨Ecuador fertility (2024)

Ecuador's fertility rate is 1.81 as of 2024 — the average number of children a woman would have over her lifetime at current age-specific rates. That places Ecuador 116 of 217 countries with recent data. The world figure for the same period is 2.19. In 1960 the figure was 6.72 — down 73% since then. 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.
