합계출산율순 주권국가 목록

List of sovereign states and dependencies by total fertility rate
Map of countries by total fertility rate (2020–2025), according to UNPD
UNPD[1] 따르면 합계출산율(2020~2025년)에 따른 국가 지도

이것합계출산율(TFR)에 따른 모든 주권국가와 의존관계 목록입니다.즉, 출산연도에 여성 1인당 예상되는 출생아 수입니다.

방법론

첫 번째 목록은 주권국가와 종속국별로 순위가 매겨진 가장 최근의 합계출산율(TFR) 데이터가 있는 해이며, 데이터를 검색, 정리 및 발표한 정부간, 정부간 또는 비정부기관별로 정렬되어 있다.

최근 연도별 국가 순위 목록:

정부기관간 랭킹리스트

유엔인구기금 순위는 온라인으로 [2]발표된 2022년 데이터에 기초한다.유엔인구기금(United Nations Population Fund for Population Activities, UNFPA)은 전 세계적으로 생식 및 모성의 건강을 증진시키는 것을 목적으로 하는 유엔 기구이다.이 기관은 자체 업무와 국가 출처를 바탕으로 인구통계학적 문제에 대한 정보를 수집하고 분석한다.

세계은행 순위 목록은 온라인으로 [3]발표된 2020년 데이터를 기반으로 한다.세계은행은 국제연합 국제금융기구로서 세계은행그룹의 일부이며, 유엔개발그룹의 회원국이기도 하지만, 국제 및 국내 정보원 (1) 유엔인구분할을 바탕으로 인구통계학적 문제에 대한 정보를 수집하고 분석하기도 한다.세계인구전망, (2) 유엔통계과.인구 및 활력 통계 보고서(다양한 연도), (3) 국가 통계청의 인구 조사 보고서 및 기타 통계 간행물, (4) Eurostat:인구통계, (5) 태평양 지역 사무국:통계 및 인구통계 프로그램 및 (6) 미국 인구조사국:International Database.

비고: 세계은행은 정보원으로부터의 보다 정확하고 최신 정보로 인해 출산율 수치를 특정 연도 동안 변경할 수 있다.그렇기 때문에 때로는 같은 해에 한 번 이상 세계은행의 출산율 수치를 갱신할 필요가 있다.

정부기관 순위 리스트

CIA 랭킹 리스트는 특별히 명시되지 않은 한 최근 1년간의[4][5] CIA 월드 팩트북에서 출처를 얻습니다.주권국가국가는 순위가 매겨진다.일부 국가는 이 인구 조사 당시 국가로 완전히 인식되지 않았기 때문에 목록에 포함되지 않을 수 있다.

INED - Institute National d'Etudes Démographiques는 온라인 출판물 Population & Sociétés - Tous les pays du monde (2019), 번호 569를 기반으로 한다.[6]

비정부기구 순위 리스트

인구 참조국(PRB) 순위 목록은 온라인으로 발행된 2021년 세계 인구 데이터 시트[7] 데이터를 기반으로 한다.PRB는[8] 연구나 학술 목적으로 인구, 건강, 환경에 대해 전 세계 사람들에게 알리는 민간 비영리 단체입니다.1929년에 설립되었습니다.세계인구데이터시트는 200개국 이상의 인구통계, 건강 및 환경지표에 대한 자세한 정보를 제공하는 양면 월차트(현재는 온라인)이다.

비고: 국가별 출산율 수치가 한 해에서 다른 해로 변화한다고 해서 반드시 특정 국가의 실제 출산율 증가 또는 감소를 반영하는 것은 아니며, 보다 정확하고 업데이트된 정보에 의한 변화를 반영하고 있다.

OWID(Our World In Data) 국가 순위 2019 목록은 OWID 웹사이트(클릭 가능한 지도와 인용된 출처)[9][10]를 기반으로 한다.OWID는 전 세계 생활환경이 어떻게 변화하고 있는지를 보여주는 경험적 연구와 데이터를 제공하는 온라인 출판물이다.그 목적은 세상이 어떻게 변화하고 있고 왜 변화하고 있는지를 보여주는 것이다.이 출판물은 옥스퍼드 대학에서 개발되었으며 사회사학자이자 개발 경제학자인 Max Roser에 의해 집필되었습니다.

비교 순위 목록:

OWID(Our World In Data) 국가 순위TFR: 1950년과 2015년 비교 목록은 OWID 웹사이트(클릭 가능한 지도와 인용된 출처)[11][12]를 기반으로 한다.OWID(Our World In Data)는 전 세계 생활환경이 어떻게 변화하고 있는지를 보여주는 경험적 연구와 데이터를 제공하는 온라인 출판물이다.그 목적은 세상이 어떻게 변화하고 있고 왜 변화하고 있는지를 보여주는 것이다.이 출판물은 옥스퍼드 대학에서 개발되었으며 사회사학자이자 개발 경제학자인 Max Roser에 의해 집필되었습니다.

TFR: 1960년과 2015년의 세계은행 국가 순위비교 목록은 세계은행 웹사이트의 온라인 공개 인구통계 데이터(클릭 가능한 지도와 인용된 출처)[13]를 기반으로 한다.

인구 참조국(PRB) 국가 순위 및 TFR: 1970과 2013 비교 목록은 온라인으로 [15][16]공개된 2014년 세계 인구 데이터[14] 시트의 데이터를 기반으로 한다.

예측/예측 순위 목록:

유엔 순위 목록은 유엔 세계 인구 전망에서 나온 것이다.수치는 2015-2020년 유엔 세계인구전망보고서의 2015년 개정판에서 중간 [17][18]가정을 사용한 것이다.중간 가정을 사용하여 2020-2025년에 개정된 유엔 세계인구전망보고서(United Nations World Population Providence)[19]에 수록된다.유엔 인구과(DESA - 경제사회부[20] 일부) 순위 목록은 온라인으로 [21][22]발표된 2015-2020년과 2020-2025년의 예측/예측을 기반으로 한다.

2019년 인구 100,000 이상의 국가/지역만 포함된다.순위는 2015-2020년과 2020-2025년 수치를 기준으로 한다.
