How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the total fertility rate: children per woman. It shows how many children a woman would have on average under current age-specific fertility rates.

Nomadino uses World Bank development data, UN World Population Prospects, national statistical offices and maintained replacements for small or incompletely covered territories.

The rating uses a balanced curve. 0.7 children per woman or less receives 0 points. 1.0 receives 15 points, 1.3 receives 35 points, 1.6 receives 65 points and 1.8 receives 85 points. The best range is 2.0 to 2.3 children per woman and receives 100 points.

Above this range the rating declines again: 2.6 receives about 92 points, 3.0 about 75 points, 4.0 about 45 points, 5.0 about 25 points and 6.0 or more 10 points. The indicator does not rate family models; it measures whether the birth structure looks sustainable over the long term.
