Fertility
Niger has the highest fertility rate in the world at 7.6 births per woman which is more than three times greater than South Africa’s fertility rate of 2.4 and almost 7 times greater than Macao’s fertility rate of 1.1. Based on the average life expectancy of women in Niger this means that on average women are pregnant for around 10% of their lives. (http://bit.ly/1BYB4NB, http://bit.ly/1E18qbc)
