  1. Population in Countries With Low Fertility Decline or Growth, 2002-2025 Percent Country (average number of children per woman) China (1.8) South Korea (1.4) Trinidad & Tobago (1.6) Italy (1.2) Russia (1.1) Bulgaria (1.1) Source: United Nations, World Population Prospects: The 2002 Revision (medium scenario), 2003.

  2. Notes on Population in Countries With Low Fertility All countries shown here have below “replacement level” childbearing —the level required for population to ultimately stop growing or declining. Yet, half will continue to grow and half are projected to decline by 2025. Although women in both Russia and Bulgaria have on average 1.1 children each (among the lowest rates in the world), Russia, with a slightly younger population, will lose a smaller proportion of its population (14 percent, compared with 17 percent for Bulgaria) between 2002 and 2025. Still, Russia, having a much bigger population, is projected to lose nearly 20 million people, whereas Bulgaria will probably shrink by just 1.5 million.
