List of countries by mean age at childbearing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following list sorts countries and dependent territories by mean age at childbearing. The mean age at childbearing indicates the age of a woman at their childbearing events, if women were subject throughout their lives to the age-specific fertility rates observed in that given year.[1] In countries with very high fertility rates women can have their first child at a much younger age than the mean age at childbearing.
