Historical chart and dataset showing U.S. birth rate by year from 1950 to 2025.

The crude birth rate in Sweden decreased gradually since 2010. In 2023, it dropped below 10 births per 1,000 inhabitants. The crude birth rate is defined as the number of live births in a given geographical area in a given time period, per thousand mid-year population. As with the birth rate in Sweden, the fertility rate has also been declining over the past decade. Increasing population Even though the crude birth rate and the fertility rate in Sweden are declining, the population in Sweden is still growing. This is partly due to fewer deaths than births, but also due to the positive migration flow of more immigrants coming to Sweden than the number of people emigrating. Babies born The number of babies born depends on the number of women in reproductive age living in the country. The number of babies born reached a record-low 100,000 in 2023.

World birth rate for 2025 is 17.13, a 0.95% decline from 2024.

Teen Birth Rate - This indicator shows the rate of births to teens ages 15-19 years (per 1,000 population). Teen pregnancy is linked to a host of social problems such as poverty, lack of overall child well-being, out-of-wedlock births, lack of responsible fatherhood, health issues, school failure, child abuse and neglect and at-risk behaviors. https://health.maryland.gov/pophealth/Documents/SHIP/SHIP%20Lite%20Data%20Details/Teen%20Birth%20Rate.pdf" > Link to Data Details

In the United States, the crude birth rate in 1800 was 48.3 live births per thousand people, meaning that 4.8 percent of the population had been born in that year. Between 1815 and 1825 the crude birth rate jumped from 46.5 to 54.7 (possibly due to Florida becoming a part of the US, but this is unclear), but from this point until the Second World War the crude birth rate dropped gradually, reaching 19.2 in 1935. Through the 1940s, 50s and 60s the US experienced it's baby boom, and the birth rate reached 24.1 in 1955, before dropping again until 1980. From the 1980s until today the birth rate's decline has slowed, and is expected to reach twelve in 2020, meaning that just over 1 percent of the population will be born in 2020.

The crude birth rate in Mexico saw no significant changes in 2022 in comparison to the previous year 2021 and remained at around 14.64 live births per 1,000 inhabitants. But still, the rate reached its lowest value of the observation period in 2022. The crude birth rate is the annual number of live births in a given population, expressed per 1,000 people. When looked at in unison with the crude death rate, the rate of natural increase can be determined.Find more statistics on other topics about Mexico with key insights such as total fertility rate, total life expectancy at birth, and life expectancy of men at birth.

While the standard image of the nuclear family with two parents and 2.5 children has persisted in the American imagination, the number of births in the U.S. has steadily been decreasing since 1990, with about 3.67 million babies born in 2022. In 1990, this figure was 4.16 million. Birth and replacement rates A country’s birth rate is defined as the number of live births per 1,000 inhabitants, and it is this particularly important number that has been decreasing over the past few decades. The declining birth rate is not solely an American problem, with EU member states showing comparable rates to the U.S. Additionally, each country has what is called a “replacement rate.” The replacement rate is the rate of fertility needed to keep a population stable when compared with the death rate. In the U.S., the fertility rate needed to keep the population stable is around 2.1 children per woman, but this figure was at 1.67 in 2022. Falling birth rates Currently, there is much discussion as to what exactly is causing the birth rate to decrease in the United States. There seem to be several factors in play, including longer life expectancies, financial concerns (such as the economic crisis of 2008), and an increased focus on careers, all of which are causing people to wait longer to start a family. How international governments will handle falling populations remains to be seen, but what is clear is that the declining birth rate is a multifaceted problem without an easy solution.

Between 2010 and 2023, the fertility rate in Sweden decreased steadily, dropping to 1.5. The fertility rate is defined as the number of children that would be born or are likely to be born to a woman if she lives to the end of her reproductive years. A similar decline was visible for the crude birth rate, which in 2022 was down at 10 births per 1,000 inhabitants.

More immigrants than emigrants

Despite the decreasing fertility- and crude birth rate in Sweden, the population in Sweden continues to grow. More babies are born each year than people dying, which contributes to a growing population. However, the major reason behind the continued population growth is the positive inflow of immigrants. Few people are leaving the country, while many more migrants are arriving in Sweden.

Fertility rate in Europe

Even though the fertility rate in the country decreased over the last 10 years, Sweden had a higher fertility rate than many other countries in Europe in 2023. The Faroe Islands had the highest fertility rate, whereas Andorra had the lowest.

The graph illustrates the number of babies born in the United States from 1995 to 2025. The x-axis represents the years, labeled from '95 to '25, while the y-axis shows the annual number of births. Over this 30-year period, birth numbers peaked at 4,316,233 in 2007 and reached a low of 3,596,017 in 2023. The data reveals relatively stable birth rates from 1995 to 2010, with slight fluctuations, followed by a gradual decline starting around 2017. The information is presented in a line graph format, effectively highlighting the long-term downward trend in U.S. birth numbers over the specified timeframe.

Note: (10/12/2010) The Health and Social Care Information Centre initially published the Provider Level Analysis spreadsheet on 18/11/2010. Due to the suppression of small numbers it wasn't possible to calculate method of onset or delivery rates for all providers. Additional information has been added to tables C and D of the Provider Level Analysis allowing estimated rates to be presented. Maternity data The publication includes details of all deliveries taking place in NHS hospitals (in England) excluding home births and those taking place in independent sector hospitals. This includes a wide range of information such as details of how the baby was born (method of delivery), complications, birth weight and gestation. Data for 2009-10 A number of revisions have been made to the size and the presentation of the 2009-10 NHS Maternity Statistics publication. These revisions are intended to bring the publication in line with the National Statistics code of practice and highlight data quality issues to stimulate improvement in the quality of HES maternity data submitted by NHS organisations. For further details on the changes to the table numbers and locations see Appendix A of the maternity explanatory notes. The 2009-10 NHS Maternity Statistics publication will include two downloadable excel files; NHS Maternity Statistics, 2009-10 33 tables and 3 graphs are now available in one excel workbook which includes data on the following; Place of delivery Person conducting delivery Anaesthetics Method of onset and method of delivery Episiotomy Antenatal/postnatal stay Complications Gestation Birth weight Miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy Provider level analysis, 2009-10 The purpose of the provider level analysis is to contribute to the improvement of both the quality and coverage of maternity data submitted to HES. It is hoped this will stimulate discussion and ultimately contribute to enhancements in patient care. The provider level analysis provides information at National, strategic health authority, hospital provider and site level (where submitted) relating to: Gestation period in weeks at first antenatal assessment date Gestation length at delivery Method of onset of labour Method of delivery Person conducting delivery Place of delivery Selected maternity statistics Spontaneous deliveries with episiotomy Caesarean with postnatal stay 0-3 days Total caesarean with anaesthetics Unassisted deliveries Please note that an additional data quality note relating to gestation length at delivery was added on 08/01/2014.

Historical chart and dataset showing Russia birth rate by year from 1950 to 2025.

In 2024, the number of live births in Poland was the lowest since 2017 and amounted to *** per 1,000 population. The highest rate was recorded in 1950 when the number of births per **** people was nearly **. Population in Poland Since 2010, the year in which the census was conducted in Poland, the population has been gradually and systematically decreasing. The society has reduced by ******* since 2010. Many factors influence this state. Both the birth and death rate and the migration rate. When analyzing the birth and death rate, one must consider both the size of the group of women at reproductive age, the number of elderly, and the fertility rate. The latter can be stimulated by an increase in household income as well as by social transfers, such as the government program for families with children called “500+”. It is predicted that by **** the population of Poland will decline to over **** million people. Situation of Polish families In developed countries, the financial situation plays a key role in family planning. The average family in Poland had **** people in 2023, and since 2010 this indicator has been systematically decreasing. Although the financial situation of Poles is improving every year, their increasing costs of living, lack of stability, and awareness of investments related to having a family make Poles postpone their decision on parenthood. The government's “500 plus” family support program was designed to help Polish families with children to develop further. However, recent surveys of birth rates indicate that this goal has not been fully achieved.
