Research output: Contribution to conference › Poster

Abstract

Timor-Leste’s post-independence era has been marked by significant demographic shifts, with rapid population growth due to refugeed returning and an increase in Total Fertility Rate (TFR) to 7.8 in 2003 [1]. While TFR has since declined to 5.7 in 2009-10 and 4.2 in 2016, the population is still projected to increase from 1.18 million in 2015 to between 1.52 (+29%) and 2.06 (+75%) million by 2050 [2, 3].
