Total fertility rate; births per woman, 2024.
Afghanistan’s total fertility rate was 4.76 births per woman in 2024. The measure represents the number of children a woman would bear if current age-specific fertility rates persisted. The level remained high relative to replacement fertility, although this brief does not introduce a separate replacement benchmark. Fertility helps explain the country’s rapid population growth and age structure.
