Total world birth & fertility rates by country (1960-2023)

Updated on by Georank team

The world birth rate is 16.3 annual births per 1,000 people, and the total fertility rate is 2.2 — the average number of children a woman would have during her lifetime.

The fertility rate has been declining from 5.31 in 1963 to 2.2 now and is projected to fall below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman by 2036.

The birth rate varies drastically by country and by region. South Korea has the lowest fertility rate of 0.72 lifetime births per woman with a total annual birth rate of 4.5 per 1,000 people; meanwhile, Somalia has the highest fertility rate in the world at 6.13 and a birth rate of 43.

  • The mean age of first-time mothers globally is 23.1 — it was 24.5 in 1990.
  • The mean age at childbearing (for all the births, not just the first) is 28.3, a change from 27.2 in 1990.
  • Annual births per 1,000 women ages 15-19 (adolescent birth rate or teenage mother rate) declined from 92.1 in 1960 to 39.1 in 2023.
  • 24.4% of the population in 2024 is composed of women of reproductive age (15-49), a change from 23.4% in 1960.
  • There are approximately 4.18 births per second, 251 births per minute, 15,063 per hour, 361,506 per day, 2,530,544 per week, 10,845,188 per month, and 131,949,791 births per year worldwide. Check our world population clock page for the visualization of global birth and death rates.
  • 102 of the world's 197 countries, accounting for 66.1% of the population, have a fertility rate below the 2.1 replacement threshold.
  • 54.1% of married women ages 15-49 use modern contraceptive methods.
  • The global life expectancy has increased from 47.8 years in 1960 to around 73.5 years in 2025.

World fertility rate map

Fertility rate

The world map above color-codes total fertility rate by country to show the significant regional variabilities: Sub-Saharan Africa has rates 4 times higher than those in Europe or East Asia; the Middle East & North Africa follow with lower fertility rates but still substantially above the replacement level; South and Southeast Asia hover around 2-3 children per woman; and the rest of the world is already below the replacement level.

List of countries ranked by fertility rate

The table below ranks 196 countries by fertility rates along with the average ages at first childbirth and natural population changes — changes from births and deaths only, migration excluded.

Fertility rate chart: total and by region

Of the top 30 countries by birth rate, 28 are in Africa. It's estimated that Africa will add 2.23B people by 2100, while most regions will stagnate or even decline in population, depending on migration. The chart below showcases the global year-by-year historical fertility rates with a regional breakdown.

Birth rates by women ages chart

Birth rates have declined across all age groups. From 1960 to 2023, the global birth rate per 1,000 women aged 15-19 dropped from 92.1 to 39. For women aged 20-29, it decreased from 233.6 to 121.9, and for those aged 30 and older, it fell from 59.3 to 22.3.

Accounting for age distribution, 9.08% of all births in 2025 were to women under 20 years old, 54.3% to women aged 20-29, and 36.7% to women aged 30 and above. In 1990, the percentages were 13.3%, 61.7%, and 25% for the same age groups, respectively. Below is a chart displaying historical birth rates by maternal age worldwide.
