Sub-Saharan Africa (all income levels) | Fertility rate, total (births per woman)
Total fertility rate represents the number of children that would be born to a woman if she were to live to the end of her childbearing years and bear children in accordance with current age-specific fertility rates. Limitations and exceptions: Annual data series are interpolated from 5-year period data. Therefore they may not reflect real events as much as observed data.
