The number of children born to an average woman in a population during her entire reproductive life is called total fertility rate (TFR).

The total fertility rate (TFR) is the total number of children likely to be born to a woman in the population if she were subject to the childbearing years giving birth to children according to an existing schedule of age-specific fertility rate. The total fertility rate is obtained by adding the single-year age-specific rates at a specific time.
