- OrvalWintermute 3y agoyou're mixing apples and oranges. Replacement rate in a country with a good health system where people average longer life expectancies is 2.2 births per woman. Replacement rate needs be much higher than 2.2 in a country with high infant mortality, long wars, etc, such as exists in much of Africa, where birth rates are the highest.

Top 10 Countries with the Lowest Infant Mortality Rate (UNICEF 2020 - deaths per 1,000 live births): Iceland — 1.54 San Marino — 1.56 Estonia — 1.65 Slovenia — 1.76 Norway — 1.79 Japan — 1.82 Singapore — 1.85 Finland — 1.88 Montenegro — 1.95 Sweden — 2.15 https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/infant-mortality-rate-by-country https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/infant-mo...
