Portuguese term

a fecundidade encontra-se abaixo do nível de reposição populacional

Portuguese to English Social Sciences Geography Academic Abstract
This is from an academic abstract entitled "Mudanças na família e a situação das crianças no Brasil:
existe associação entre o estado civil da mãe e o bem-estar infantil?"

I'd just like to confirm the correct terminology for the phrase as I've found different terms such as total fertility rate/replacement rate etc. Looking for how best to say it in US English. Thanks for your help!

"A família brasileira tem passado por grandes transformações nos últimos 40 anos. A emergência de algumas tendências que poderiam lembrar traços da chamada segunda transição demográfica ainda desperta muito debate (Rodríguez, 2004; Quilodrán, 2011; Esteve, Lesthaeghe e López-Gay, 2012): **a fecundidade encontra-se abaixo do nível de reposição populacional** (1,9 filhos por mulher em 2010); nota-se uma tendência de crescimento da coabitação e da proporção de nascimentos ocorridos fora do matrimônio, bem como o divórcio e as separações tornam-se cada vez mais relevante."

Mark Robertson Oct 25, 2012:
The term natality also exists. Birth rate, fertility rate and natality are synonymous, but population replacement rate is a difference concept altogether:


The degree to which a population is replacing itself, based on the ratio of the number of female babies to the number of women of childbearing age. This is the gross reproduction rate. The net reproduction rate is defined as the average number of daughters born to mothers during their reproductive years while allowing for mortality. If the number is over 1, the population will grow, if below 1, the population will diminish.
