Children per Women

Today in human geo we talked about birth rates, death rates, and children per women which is something like the fertility rate. Anyway the number of children per women to stay consistent with the population is 2.1!! Apparently that is very important because it was in big red letters. Right now the world is at a rate of 2.42 children per woman. That means we are still rising in population although this rate is gradually going down. The U.S.A. has a rate of 2.01 which would normally mean that the population is going down but since we have so many immigrators in this country, we are still rising. Also countries like Japan have a 1.4 rate because of how aged and developed they are. Nigeria though has 6.89 since they are developing.
