Key Insights

1

Senegal

In 2020, Senegal ranked 70th out of 236 countries in terms of its female population of reproductive age, which was recorded at 4,102,886 persons. This demographic is significant for understanding the country's potential for population growth and reproductive health challenges.

The size of the female population of reproductive age in Senegal is influenced by various factors, including a relatively high fertility rate, cultural norms surrounding family size, and access to healthcare services. In recent years, the government and various NGOs have focused on improving maternal health and family planning services to better support this population.

Interestingly, Senegal's efforts in education and women's empowerment have also contributed to shifts in reproductive health trends, with increasing awareness of family planning options and healthcare access. However, challenges remain, particularly in rural areas where resources are limited.

2

Armenia

In 2020, Armenia ranked 136th out of 236 countries regarding its female population of reproductive age, which was recorded at 728,953.5 persons. This demographic is critical for understanding the country's potential for population growth and the socio-economic dynamics at play.

The female population of reproductive age, typically defined as women aged 15 to 49, plays a significant role in the overall health, education, and workforce participation of a nation. In Armenia, factors such as economic conditions, health care access, cultural norms, and migration patterns can influence this demographic trend. The relatively lower birth rate and high levels of emigration may also impact the number of women in this age group.

Additionally, it is noteworthy that Armenia's historical context, including the effects of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and ongoing regional tensions, may contribute to demographic shifts and influence family planning decisions among women. Understanding these dynamics is essential for policymakers as they address issues related to women's health and reproductive rights.

3

Turks and Caicos Islands

The Turks and Caicos Islands ranks 211 out of 236 countries in terms of the female population of reproductive age. In 2020, this demographic accounted for approximately 11,834 persons, indicating a significant portion of the population that is of childbearing age.

This statistic is crucial for understanding the potential for population growth and the demand for healthcare services, particularly maternal and child health. The relatively small population size of the islands may contribute to this ranking, as smaller territories often have lower absolute numbers in various demographic categories.

Factors influencing the female population of reproductive age include migration trends, fertility rates, and socio-economic conditions. The Turks and Caicos Islands, being a popular tourist destination, may experience fluctuations in birth rates due to the transient nature of its workforce and the local economy's reliance on tourism.

4

Comoros

In 2020, Comoros ranked 167th out of 236 countries in terms of its female population of reproductive age, which was approximately 195,991 persons. This demographic is crucial for understanding the potential for population growth and the health and social services required to support women during their reproductive years.

The relatively small size of the female population of reproductive age in Comoros can be attributed to various factors, including historical population dynamics, fertility rates, and migration patterns. Comoros has historically experienced high fertility rates, although there have been recent declines due to improved access to education and family planning services.

Additionally, the healthcare infrastructure in Comoros plays a significant role in maternal health outcomes. As of 2020, the country has been working towards improving its healthcare systems, emphasizing the need for reproductive health services to ensure the well-being of women in this age group. Understanding this population segment is vital for policymakers aiming to enhance social and health services in Comoros.

5

Mongolia

Mongolia ranks 131st out of 236 countries regarding the female population of reproductive age, with a total of 815,585 persons identified in this demographic in the year 2020. This population segment is crucial for understanding the country's demographic trends and reproductive health issues.

The size of the female population of reproductive age can be influenced by factors such as overall population growth, fertility rates, and migration patterns. In Mongolia, a combination of a relatively high fertility rate and a young population contributes to the significant number of women in this age group.

Moreover, societal changes, urbanization, and improved access to healthcare and education may also impact reproductive choices and health outcomes for women. As of 2020, Mongolia has been experiencing shifts in gender roles and empowerment, which could further influence family planning and reproductive health services in the coming years.

6

Myanmar

As of 2020, Myanmar ranks 24th out of 236 countries for its female population of reproductive age, which stands at 14,214,607 individuals. This significant figure represents a crucial demographic segment, as women of reproductive age play a vital role in population dynamics, healthcare, and socio-economic development.

The relatively high number of women in this age group can be attributed to several factors, including a historically high birth rate and ongoing improvements in healthcare that have contributed to higher life expectancy among women. Moreover, traditional cultural practices and societal norms in Myanmar often encourage larger families, which impacts this demographic statistic.

In addition to these factors, it is worth noting that women's health and reproductive rights have been central issues in Myanmar, with ongoing efforts by various organizations to improve access to healthcare and family planning services. This demographic insight is essential for formulating policies that address maternal health, education, and economic opportunities for women in Myanmar.

7

Saudi Arabia

In 2020, Saudi Arabia ranked 51st out of 236 countries in terms of its female population of reproductive age, which was recorded at approximately 6,925,944 individuals. This demographic is crucial for understanding population dynamics and reproductive health services within the country.

The sizeable female population of reproductive age in Saudi Arabia can be attributed to several factors, including a relatively high birth rate and improvements in healthcare that have reduced maternal and infant mortality. Additionally, cultural factors that emphasize family and childbearing contribute to the substantial number of women in this age group.

Notably, the Kingdom has been undergoing significant social changes aimed at empowering women, including increased participation in the workforce and public life.

Saint Helena

In 2020, Saint Helena ranked 233rd out of 236 countries in terms of the female population of reproductive age, with a total of 994.5 persons falling within this demographic. This low figure can be attributed to the island's small population size, which was estimated to be around 4,500 inhabitants at the time, leading to a limited number of females in reproductive age.

The demographic structure of Saint Helena is influenced by factors such as geographical isolation, which affects migration patterns and economic opportunities, thereby impacting population growth and age distribution. Additionally, the local economy, primarily reliant on tourism and public employment, may not attract a significant influx of younger individuals seeking to establish families.

As a result, the small number of females of reproductive age can have implications for the island's future population trends, including potential challenges related to workforce sustainability and community development.

Qatar

Qatar ranks 148th out of 236 countries in terms of its female population of reproductive age, which was recorded at 497,581 persons in the year 2020. This demographic statistic is crucial as it represents a significant portion of the population that is capable of childbearing, influencing various aspects of the country's social and economic dynamics.

The relatively high number reflects Qatar's overall population growth, which has been bolstered by both natural increase and immigration. Factors contributing to this statistic include the country's robust economy, which attracts a diverse expatriate workforce, and its healthcare policies that support maternal health and family planning.

In addition to this, it's noteworthy that Qatar has made substantial investments in women's healthcare and education, which can impact reproductive health outcomes and choices. As of recent years, the government has focused on empowering women through various initiatives, potentially influencing future trends in fertility and family structure.

Montenegro

In 2020, Montenegro had a female population of reproductive age estimated at 138,867.5 persons, ranking it 171st out of 236 countries. This demographic segment is crucial for understanding population dynamics, fertility rates, and potential socio-economic trends within the country.

The relatively modest size of the female reproductive age population in Montenegro can be attributed to several factors, including a declining birth rate and emigration trends, which have affected the overall population structure. Montenegro has faced challenges such as economic transition, which may influence family planning decisions and reproductive health services.

Additionally, the country has a history of youth migration, with many individuals seeking opportunities abroad, further impacting the demographic balance. As of 2020, the fertility rate in Montenegro was approximately 1.6 children per woman, which is below the population replacement level, emphasizing the importance of policies aimed at supporting families and encouraging higher birth rates.
