In Europe, which is now the continent with the lowest fertility rate, the rate fell to 1.43 children per woman at the end of the last millennium, but has risen slightly in recent years (currently 1.61) and is expected to stabilize by 2100, according to UN forecasts at around 1.77.
V Evropi, ki je danes celina z najnižjo stopnjo rodnosti, je celotna stopnja rodnosti konec prejšnjega tisočletja padla na 1,43 otroka na žensko, a se v zadnjih letih rahlo zvišuje (zdaj je 1,61) in do leta 2100 naj bi se po napovedih ZN stabilizirala na 1,77.
