If a country’s total fertility rate (TFR) is measured at 4.0, what does this measurement most likely indicate about the future of the country’s population?

A total fertility rate of 4.0 means that, on average, each woman has four children over her lifetime. This is well above the replacement rate of about 2.1 children per woman, which is generally needed to keep a population stable. Therefore, the population likely is growing.
