List of countries with highest birth rate
The human birth rate is the number of individuals born per year per 1000 in the population. India has overtaken China as the most populous country but does not rank first in the world when birth rate is considered.
There are countries with high birth rates but lower populations, although it can be said some countries might have more birth rates than they reported due to their poor data collection.
