Chileâs is the same (see article). This is below the replacement rate of fertility (2.1, which stabilises the population in the long run). It is also lower than in the United States, where the rate is 1.9. Latin America and the Caribbean saw its fertility rate fall from almost 6.0 in 1960 to 2.2 five decades later.In the United States and Europe that fall took twice as long. Now the continent is starting on a second shift.irst, they move from high birth rates and early mortality to low birth rates and longer life expectancies. During this process, the population at first grows rapidly, and then more slowly. The main indicator of the slowdown is a fall in fertility. Latin America is well advanced along this first demographic shift.
