If you want a single indicator to measure economic development in a country or region, total fertility rate is one of the better ones.
Replacement rate for the world as a whole at TFR 2.3 is a bit higher than the replacement rate in the developed world of 2.1.
The TFR of the world as a whole is 2.3 right now, which is right at global replacement rate. Thus, the world's population as a whole is on track to be neither growing nor shrinking in the long run once the "bumps" in existing demographics work their way though the overall population trends. In 1970, the global TFR was 4.8 and it was 5.1 in 1965.
From here.
The world population is currently at an all time high of 7.95 billion. The world population is expected by the U.N. to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, to 9.7 billion by 2050, and to 10.4 billion by 2100. I suspect that this estimate is high and that a peak will be reached sooner in time at a lower peak population, because that is the direction in which population estimates have been corrected in the past few decades. After that, the long term downward trend in TFR everywhere in the world as economic development advances is expected to gradually reduce the global population.
The highest TFR in the world, as of 2024, is in Niger at 6.6 and the lowest is in South Korea at 0.9 (Hong Kong would be lower still at 0.8, if it were a separate country). This is a significant shift since 1970, when the highest national TFR in the world (to the nearest 0.1) was 8.1 in Kenya, and the lowest national TFR in the world, in Finland, was 1.8.
A broad summary
If we break the world into a greater than 2.3 global replacement rate TFR and a 2.3 or below TFR bin, the countries in the higher TFR bin are:
Sub-Saharan Africa (45-5)
45 countries are in the higher bin (up to 6.6). This includes all 14 countries with TFR 4.4 and above, and 28 out of 29 countries with TFR 3.9 and above (the exception in Afghanistan at 4.3 in 15th place).
5 countries: South Africa, and 4 island countries or dependencies near Africa, are in the lower bin.
Central Asia (6-0)
All 6 are in the higher bin (up to 4.3).
Oceania (9-4)
9 small countries or dependencies in the South Pacific are in the higher bin (up to 3.8).
4 are in the lower bin (New Zealand, Australia, and 2 small island dependencies).
The Middle East, and North Africa (9-10)
9 countries or dependencies are in the higher bin (up to 3.6).
Southeast Asia (4-7)
4 countries are in the higher bin: Papua New Guinea (3.1), East Timor (2.9), the Philippines (2.7) and Laos (2.4).
The Americas (4-32)
4 countries or dependencies are in the higher bin: French Guiana (3.4), Haiti (2.7), Bolivia (2.5), and Paraguay (2.4).
West Asia (Turkey and Iran) and South Asia (1-8)
Pakistan (3.3) is in the higher bin.
Europe (0-44)
All are in the lower bin (up to 2.0).
East Asia (0-6)
All are in the lower bin (up to 1.8).
