This marks a decline of 77,000births, or 3.8%, compared to the previous year, and the first time in nearlytwo decades that the country has seen birth rates fall below the 2 millionmark, according to Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, Egypt's Health Minister.
Globally, the average fertility rateis around 2.3 children per woman, which is already below the replacement levelof 2.1 needed to maintain a stable population. Egypt’s rate of 2.41 childrenper woman is slightly above this global average, though it is lower than manycountries in the Arab world.
The United Nations projects that theworld’s population will peak at 10.3 billion in the mid-2080s before graduallydeclining to 10.2 billion by the end of the century, driven by lower fertilityrates worldwide.
