Answer:

Relationship between total fertility rate and replacement level

The single most important factor in population growth is the total fertility rate . If, on average, women give birth to 2.1 children and these children survive to the age of 15, any given woman will have replaced herself and her partner upon death. A TFR of 2.1 is known as the replacement rate.
