Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To keep a population stable or viable without immigration, the total fertility rate needs to be about 2.1 children per woman. This rate compensates for the mortality rate before reaching reproductive age and ensures that, on average, each woman is replaced by a slightly more than one child, thus maintaining the population size.
