Key Insights

1

Guadeloupe

In 2021, Guadeloupe ranked 180th out of 236 countries in terms of its female population of reproductive age, which stands at 84,457 persons. This demographic is significant as it encompasses women typically aged between 15 and 49, a crucial period for childbearing and maternal health considerations.

The size of the female reproductive population in Guadeloupe can be influenced by various factors, including historical birth rates, healthcare access, and socio-economic conditions. The territory's population dynamics reflect broader trends seen in Caribbean nations, where economic opportunities and health services can affect family planning and reproductive health.

Additionally, Guadeloupe's status as a French overseas department may impact policies related to women's health and reproductive rights, providing certain social services and healthcare frameworks that support this demographic. Understanding the female population of reproductive age is essential for planning and implementing appropriate health and social policies in the region.

2

Luxembourg

In 2021, Luxembourg ranked 170th out of 236 countries regarding its female population of reproductive age, totaling 154,872 persons. This demographic is significant as it encompasses women typically aged between 15 and 49 years, which is crucial for understanding population dynamics, fertility rates, and potential socio-economic impacts.

The relatively high number of women in this age group can be attributed to Luxembourg's stable economy and high standard of living, which generally encourage family formation and childbearing. Furthermore, the country has a robust healthcare system that supports reproductive health, contributing to favorable conditions for women in their reproductive years.

Interestingly, Luxembourg's progressive policies on gender equality and family support, such as parental leave and childcare services, may also influence the reproductive decisions of women, encouraging higher birth rates compared to other countries with similar demographic structures.

3

Poland

Poland ranks 41st out of 236 countries in terms of its female population of reproductive age, which is approximately 8,845,894 persons in the year 2021. This statistic indicates a significant segment of the population that is capable of childbearing, which has implications for both social policy and economic planning within the country.

The size of the female population in this age group can be influenced by various factors, including historical birth rates, migration patterns, and health policies. Poland has seen fluctuations in its birth rates over the years, with recent years indicating a trend towards lower fertility rates, which may be attributed to economic considerations, societal changes, and access to family planning resources.

Furthermore, the demographic structure of Poland is shaped by its aging population and emigration trends, which can affect the reproductive age demographic. Interestingly, the average age of first-time mothers in Poland has been increasing, reflecting broader trends in many developed countries where women are prioritizing education and career establishment before starting families.

4

Saint Lucia

In 2021, Saint Lucia ranked 189th out of 236 countries regarding the female population of reproductive age, which is estimated at 48,965.5 persons. This demographic is critical for understanding the potential for population growth and the social services required for maternal and child health in the country.

The relatively small size of this population segment can be attributed to factors such as fertility rates, migration patterns, and socio-economic conditions. Saint Lucia has experienced both a declining fertility rate and emigration, which have influenced the overall demographic structure.

Additionally, the health and education services available to women in reproductive age are crucial for improving maternal health outcomes, which may be reflected in related statistics such as birth rates and maternal mortality rates. Ensuring access to reproductive health services remains a priority for the government and health organizations in the region.

5

Saint Martin (French part)

In 2021, the French part of Saint Martin had a female population of reproductive age totaling 6,803 persons, ranking it 221 out of 236 countries in this demographic category. This statistic reflects the proportion of women who are typically aged between 15 and 49, a key segment for assessing potential demographic trends and reproductive health issues within the territory.

The relatively low ranking may be influenced by several factors, including the island's small population size, which is approximately 32,000 residents overall, and the demographic dynamics resulting from migration patterns, economic conditions, and social factors. Saint Martin's economy, heavily reliant on tourism, could also impact family planning decisions and reproductive health services available to this segment of the population.

Moreover, it is noteworthy that the territory has experienced significant changes due to natural disasters, such as Hurricane Irma in 2017, which has affected population stability and may have consequences on reproductive health services. This statistic is essential for understanding the broader implications of health care, family planning, and women's rights within the context of Saint Martin's unique socio-economic landscape.

6

Isle of Man

The Isle of Man ranks 205th out of 236 countries in terms of the female population of reproductive age, with a total of 17,022.5 persons recorded in the year 2021. This demographic is significant as it represents a vital segment of the population that is typically involved in childbearing and family formation.

Factors contributing to this statistic may include the overall population size of the Isle of Man, which is relatively small, as well as cultural and economic conditions that influence family planning and reproductive health. The Isle of Man has a developed economy, which may affect decisions regarding family size and childbearing age.

Additionally, the fertility rate in the Isle of Man tends to be lower than the global average, reflecting trends seen in other developed regions. Understanding the female population of reproductive age is crucial for planning healthcare services, educational resources, and social services tailored to this demographic's needs.

7

Mauritania

Mauritania ranks 126th out of 236 countries in terms of its female population of reproductive age. In 2021, the total number of women in this demographic was approximately 1,138,096 persons. This statistic highlights the significant portion of the population that is capable of childbearing, which can have substantial implications for national health policies, educational needs, and economic planning.

The relatively high number of women of reproductive age in Mauritania can be influenced by various factors, including cultural norms surrounding family size, healthcare access, and fertility rates. The country has been noted for its traditional views on marriage and family, which often encourage larger families, contributing to a higher proportion of women in this age group.

Additionally, it is pertinent to note that the reproductive health landscape in Mauritania faces challenges such as limited access to maternal healthcare services and educational resources, which can impact both the health and social status of women. Understanding the dynamics of this demographic is crucial for implementing effective policies aimed at improving women's health and empowerment in the country.

In 2021, Peru ranked 42nd out of 236 countries in terms of female population of reproductive age, with an estimated 8,834,522 women within this demographic. This statistic highlights the significant portion of the population that is capable of contributing to birth rates and, by extension, the country's demographic trends.

Factors contributing to this sizable female population include historical trends in fertility rates, which have gradually declined in the past few decades, alongside improvements in healthcare and family planning access. The demographic shift also reflects broader social changes, including increased educational opportunities for women, which can influence reproductive choices.

Moreover, as of recent reports, Peru has been experiencing ongoing challenges related to maternal health and reproductive rights, which remain critical areas for policy focus. Understanding the dynamics of the female reproductive age population is vital for addressing these issues and supporting sustainable population growth.

Mali

Mali ranks 62nd out of 236 countries regarding the female population of reproductive age, which is defined as women aged 15 to 49 years. In 2021, this demographic accounted for 4,978,965 persons within the country. This substantial figure reflects Mali's relatively high fertility rates and youthful population, which are significant factors in the nation's demographic profile.

The large female population of reproductive age in Mali can be attributed to several factors, including cultural norms that favor larger families, limited access to family planning resources, and a high prevalence of early marriage. Additionally, the country's significant rural population often has different reproductive health access compared to urban areas, influencing overall reproductive health outcomes.

As a related statistic, Mali has one of the highest fertility rates in the world, with an average of approximately 5.9 children per woman. This not only impacts the female population dynamics but also has broader implications for education, healthcare, and economic development within the country.
