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 fertility rate of a country is the average number of children that women from that country will have throughout their reproductive years. From 1800 to 1875, Sweden's fertility rate fluctuated quite regularly, rising from 4.1 children per woman in 1800 to it's maximum recorded figure of 5.1 in the early 1820s, and then dropping to 4.2 by 1870. It was at this point that the fertility rate began falling gradually, to just 1.7 births per woman in 1935. Sweden also experienced its own baby boom that lasted from the 1940s to the late 1960s, before falling to 1.6 in 1985. In the past few decades, Sweden's fertility rate has again fluctuated between 1.5 and 2 children per woman, due to varying economic circumstances and migrational factors. In 2020, it is estimated that the fertility rate of Sweden will be 1.9 children per woman.
