How many children does a woman living in Luxembourg receive on average?
The correct answer is 1.4, and this low level has tended to decrease in recent years. The figure is below the European average (1,6). It is highest in France with 1.9 children, lowest in Spain and Italy with 1.3.
These values are below the quota required for the reproduction of generations. A generation ensures that it is replaced when the number of girls born equals the number of women in the generation of parents. Because of the gender ratio at birth and the low infant mortality rate, this rate is achieved when women in developed countries have an average of about 2.1 children.
