Israel is a notable exception. They're well above replacement, even if we remove the Haredi. Women have full equality. I'm not sure what that means though. That healthy fertility requires constant war? Or that it requires high religiosity?


Supposedly, Tel Aviv University reports a TFR of 2.3, which I would not classify as well above replacement rate of 2.1.
