List of countries by net reproduction rate explained

The following list sorts countries and dependent territories by their net reproduction rate. The net reproduction rate (R₀) is the number of surviving daughters per woman and an important indicator of the population's reproductive rate. If R₀ is one, the population replaces itself and would stay without any migration and emigration at a stable level. If the R₀ is less than one, the reproductive performance of the population is below replacement level.
