9 , while the mortality level can be summarized by life expectancy at birth, or the average age at death resulting from mortality conditions observed in a given year or period (figure 4). In most situations, fertility and mortality are the main components of Population change over time. In recent decades, there have been substantial declines in fertility in many parts of the World . Globally in 2019 the total fertility rate was , compared to in 2000. In 2019, about one-fifth of countries or areas had a fertility level of four or more (figure 3); most of these countries were in sub-Saharan Africa.

10 Almost half of countries globally had a total fertility rate lower than , the level required to achieve a long-run growth rate of zero for populations with low levels of mortality. Improvements in living conditions have contributed to lower mortality and increased life expectancy around the World . Globally, life expectancy at birth reached years in 2019, up from years in 2000. The largest gains in life expectancy at birth during this period occurred in sub-Saharan Africa (figure 4). Although the gap in longevity between less developed and more developed countries has been closing, life expectancy at birth in the least developed countries is still 7 years below the global 5.
