How many children does one child have on average in Malaysia?

The fertility rate among Malaysian Chinese dropped from an average of 2.6 children per woman in 2000 to 1.4 in 2014.

The low fertility rate has caused the proportion of Chinese in the total population of Malaysia to decrease from 38 in 1957 to 24.6 in 2010. According to the "2014 Important Data Report" released by the National Bureau of Statistics on December 31 last year, if this trend continues, the Chinese population ratio will further decline.

Data show that the fertility rate of all ethnic groups has generally declined in recent years, but the Chinese fertility rate dropped from 2.6 in 2000 to 1.5 in 2010, and then to 1.4 the year before last. Authority data shows that the average fertility rate in Malaysia was 2.0 last year, and the Malay fertility rate was 2.6, which means that the population continues to grow.
