Finland is at 1.4 total fertility rate. Replacement rate is about 2.3.
Are you trying to say that unwanted teen pregnancies are the answer to population decline?
Not at all, but it's interesting data that is relevant when discussing reproductive matters

What are you concluding from the data you are posting?
Why is it relevant?
It isn't relevant unless you're trying to suggest countries should boost fertility rates with unwanted teen pregnancies.
Nope
All countries should be slowly reducing their population if we are to have any hope of surviving long-term.
That seems to happen naturally as most countries progress. As infant mortality decreases, and as nutrition and education improves, people seem to have fewer children.
The 722 abortions in 2023 added to the 43383 births wouldn't change that. I'm sick of all this fearmongering about fertility rates and using it to attack women's autonomy is absolutely appalling.
Replacement rate is about 2.3.
Why is the replacement rate not 2 exactly?
