The net reproduction rate also takes into account the number of women who cannot or do not wish to have children; in western Europe, the cohort net reproduction rate is roughly 0.9 children per woman (Goldstein et al. (2003) Pop. & Dev. Rev. 29, 4), and by 2000 the Chinese net reproduction rate had fallen to 0.82 (Young (2005) Geog. J. 171, 1).
