Based on data from the 2020 Population Census Long Form by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) has the highest total fertility rate (TFR) in Indonesia.

The total fertility rate (TFR) is the average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime, assuming that her childbearing behavior follows a specific birth pattern.

In 2020, NTT had a TFR of 2.79. This means that, on average, women in NTT are expected to give birth to approximately 3 children during their reproductive years.

Below is a complete list of the 10 provinces with the highest TFR in Indonesia in 2020:

1. East Nusa Tenggara: 2.79
2. Papua: 2.76
3. West Papua: 2.66
4. West Sulawesi: 2.58
5. Southeast Sulawesi: 2.57

7. North Sumatra: 2.48
8. North Maluku: 2.47
9. West Sumatra: 2.46
10. West Nusa Tenggara: 2.43

According to the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN), the birth rate is an indicator that can both influence and be influenced by a country's development achievements.

"Countries with better development achievements, such as higher levels of health, education, and economy, tend to have lower birth rates," stated the BKKBN in its module titled *Demographic Processes, Concepts and Fertility Measures*.

"Countries with lower birth rates tend to have better development achievements. Therefore, managing fertility rates is an important policy for improving development achievements," it continued.
