Germany’s fertility rate rose in 2014 to the highest level since reunification in 1990 but it remains among world’s lowest according to a report Wednesday from Destatis, the federal statistics office. Destatis said that the total fertility rate in Germany amounted to 1.47 children per woman in 2014. The fertility rate increased for the third time in a row. In 2013, it amounted to just under 1.42. Hence 56 more babies were born per 1,000 women in 2014 compared with a year earlier. The stable population birth rate is about 2.1.
