Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

Each circle represents the TFR for a country or territory in 1950 and 2021. The size of the circle indicates the absolute annual rate of change in TFR between the two years. Circles above the diagonal line show countries or territories that have seen an increase in TFR over the study period, whereas those below the diagonal had a decline in TFR over the study period. The horizontal and vertical dashed lines indicate replacement TFR (2.1). Country name labels are provided for locations that have the largest TFR values, those with large TFR values and annualised rates of change, and the five most populous countries with a low TFR value. FSM= Federated States of Micronesia. GBD=Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study. Isl=Islands. TLS=Timor-Leste. TFR=total fertility rate.
