Citing "WORLD POPULATION PROSPECTS: THE 2015 REVISION" page 10:
"Globally, total fertility is expected to fall from 2.5 children per woman in 2010-2015 to 2.25 in
2045-2050 and to 2.0 in 2095-2100 according to the medium-variant projection. However, in
Europe and Northern America, total fertility is projected to increase between 2010-2015 and
2045-5050 from 1.6 to 1.8 children per woman in Europe and from 1.86 to 1.9 children per
woman in Northern America. In Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Oceania,
fertility is expected to fall between 2010-2015 and 2045-2050, with the largest reductions
projected to occur in Africa. Thus, in all major areas of the world, fertility levels are projected to
converge to a level at or just below the replacement level by 2095-2100"
