New Fertility Data for Zero or Negative Growth Countries

The Population Reference Bureau provides an updated chart of total fertility rate for countries with very low fertility rates. The lowest total fertility rates among the measured countries are a TFR of 1.024 in China, 1.1 in Taiwan, and 1.163 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Remember that a TFR of about 2.1 is required to keep population stable (not including immigration and emigration).
