A member asked:

What does the replacement rate mean vs fertility rate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Zero growth rate: The replacement rate is the fertility rate where the average number of children for each woman would exactly replace the population. Ultimately this rate (around 2.5 children per woman) would achieve a zero rate of population growth.
