🇭🇰Hong Kong SAR, China fertility (2024)

Hong Kong SAR, China's fertility rate is 0.84 as of 2024 — the average number of children a woman would have over her lifetime at current age-specific rates. That places Hong Kong SAR, China 215 of 217 countries with recent data. The world figure for the same period is 2.19. In 1960 the figure was 5.09 — down 83% 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.
