Mean Childbearing Age by Country and World 1950-2023

This bar chart race shows the mean childbearing age by country (lowest and highest) and world average, from 1950 to 2023.

Mean childbearing age refers to the weighted average age at which women give births. Not only first births, but all.

The mean age at childbearing is calculated as the sum of age-specific fertility rates weighted by the mid-point of each age group, divided by the sum of the age-specific rates.
