The TFR of China was 1.60 in 2018. China implemented the one-child policy in 1979 as a drastic population planning measure to control the ever-growing population at the time. In 2015, the policy was replaced with two-child policy as China's population is aging faster than almost any other country in modern history. Japan had a TFR of 1.42 in 2018. Japan's population is rapidly aging due to both a long life expectancy and a low birth rate. The total population is shrinking, losing 430,000 in 2018 to a total of 126.4 million. Hong Kong and Singapore mitigate this through immigrant workers, but in Japan, a serious demographic imbalance has developed due to the limited number of immigration to Japan. United States Map of U.S. states by total fertility rate (TFR) in 2013. History of US Total Fertility Rate from 1933 to 2016. The total fertility rate in the United States after World War II peaked at about 3.8 children per woman in the late 1950s and by 1999 was at 2 children. The fertility rate of the total U.S. population was just below the replacement level in 1979. Currently, the fertility is below replacement among those native born, and above replacement among immigrant families, most of whom come to the United States from countries with higher fertility. However, the fertility rate of immigrants to the United States has been found to decrease sharply in the second generation, correlating with improved education and income."How Fertility Changes Across Immigrant Generations."

In 2015, the policy was replaced with two-child policy as China's population is aging faster than almost any other country in modern history. Japan had a TFR of 1.34 in 2020.
