Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. Replacement level fertility means that each couple will have enough children to replace themselves in the population, which is typically around 2 children per woman. However, due to some children not surviving to adulthood, the average number needed for zero population growth is slightly higher at 2.1 children per woman.
