The total fertility rate in Ireland decreased by 0.1 children per woman (-5.62 percent) compared to the previous year. This was the first time during the observed period that the fertility rate declined in Ireland. Notably, the fertility rate is continuously decreasing over the last years. The total fertility rate is the average number of children that a woman of childbearing age (generally considered 15 to 44 years) can hypothetically expect to have throughout her reproductive years. As fertility rates are estimates (similar to life expectancy), they refer to a hypothetical woman or cohort, and estimates assume that current age-specific fertility trends would remain constant throughout this person's reproductive years.
