Fertility Rate 🇮🇹🇲🇽
| # | Country | Total fertility rate (births per woman), 2024 (births/woman) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 🇳🇪 Niger | 5.93 |
| 2 | 🇵🇰 Pakistan | 3.55 |
| 3 | 🇲🇳 Mongolia | 2.5 |
| 4 | 🇲🇽 Mexico | 1.89 |
| 5 | 🇮🇹 Italy | 1.18 |
| 6 | 🇺🇦 Ukraine | 0.99 |
Niger leads this card at 5.93, with Ukraine at 0.99. The gap is 4.94 births/woman. Niger is 5.99 times Ukraine.
Niger stays near the world's top because marriage is early and contraception is still uncommon. Ukraine's rate, already low, fell further during the war.

Between the Tall
Name a country starting with C whose women are taller than women in the United States and shorter than women in the Netherlands.
| # | Country | Mean height of women born in 1996 (cm) | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 🇨🇿 Czechia | 168.5 | |
| 2 | 🇭🇷 Croatia | 165.6 | |
| 3 | 🇨🇦 Canada | 163.9 |
Women born in 1996 in Czechia, Croatia and Canada are taller than women in the United States (163.5 cm) and shorter than women in the Netherlands (168.7 cm). China starts with C and is shorter than the United States in this series. These are national means for one birth year, and the gaps are small.
Source: NCD Risk Factor Collaboration via Our World in Data: mean female height by year of birth, birth year 1996. Not the five-country 2019 extract on Tall Girls, which has no Netherlands row. See the source.
Between Two Scores
Name a country starting with A that is happier than Ukraine and less happy than Russia.
| # | Country | Life satisfaction (Cantril ladder) (/10) | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 🇩🇿 Algeria | 5.71 | |
| 2 | 🇦🇱 Albania | 5.66 | |
| 3 | 🇦🇲 Armenia | 5.58 | |
| 4 | 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan | 4.99 |
Ukraine scores 4.66 and Russia scores 5.83, so Ukraine is the lower of the two. North Korea is not in the World Happiness Report, and a window above Russia and below Ukraine is empty. Algeria, Albania, Armenia and Azerbaijan sit strictly between Ukraine and Russia. The ladder is where people place their own life from 0 to 10. It is not income.
