Referring to the latest full year of data available (2016), the Japanese fertility rate of 1.44 in 2016 was also higher than that of Spain (1.33), Portugal (1.31), Italy (1.35), Greece (1.33), Cyprus (1.34), Poland (1.32), South Korea (1.17), and a number of other countries.

The data also shows that the German rate was lower than that of Japan for decades and that there is little difference between the current Japanese fertility rate and that for German nationals (1.43) — something seldom mentioned in articles about Japan. (The recent overall upturn in German rates is largely due to migrants.)
