In 2022, the total fertility rate in Sri Lanka remained nearly unchanged at around 1.97 children per woman. Yet 2022 saw the lowest fertility rate in Sri Lanka with 1.97 children per woman. 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.
