In 2024, the birth rate in France reached its lowest level since 1982. From 1982 to 2019, the birth rate in France has been fluctuating between more than 11 births and almost 14 births for 1,000 inhabitants. For the first time in this period, the birth rate fell below 11 in 2020. The highest birth rate in France during this period was recorded in 1982. That year there were 14.8 births per 1,000 inhabitants. Since then, the birth rate in the country keeps decreasing. If France keeps being one of the European countries with the highest fertility rate, it is still been impacted by the decline in the birth rate that affects most Western countries. A Declining birth rate Birth rate is the ration between the annual number of live births and the average total population over that year. In 2023, there were 640,000 live births in France, while the French population amounted to 68 million people. The average number of children born per women went from 2.03 in 2010, down to 1.66 in 2023. Births in France With a crude birth rate of 10.9 births per 1,000 inhabitants in 2020, France still has one of the highest birth rates in Europe. The percentage of children born out-of-wedlock in France has been rising since the nineties, reaching 65.2 percent in 2022. Another change can be seen in the average age at childbirth among French women. In 2022, most of women in France were aged 31.1 years old at childbirth, compared to 28.8 years old in 1994.

This dataset presents the rate of multiple births by number of fetuses—distinguishing between twin births and triplet (or higher order) births—across European countries during 2015. Multiple births are associated with higher risks for both mothers and babies, including preterm birth and low birth weight. Tracking the frequency of multiple gestations helps inform health system planning, clinical risk management, and maternal–newborn care services. Data are sourced from the Euro-Peristat project, which provides harmonised, comparable perinatal health statistics across Europe.Data Source:EuroPeristat: https://www.europeristat.com/This is one of many datasets featured on the Midwives’ Data Hub, a digital platform designed to strengthen midwifery and advocate for better maternal and newborn health services.

The total fertility rate in the European Union decreased by 0.1 children per woman (-6.85 percent) in 2023 in comparison to the previous year. Therefore, 2023 marks the lowest fertility rate during the observed period. Total fertility rates refer to the average number of children that a woman of childbearing age (generally considered 15 to 44 years) can expect to have throughout her reproductive years. Unlike birth rates, which are based on the actual number of live births in a given population, fertility rates are hypothetical (similar to life expectancy), as they assume that current patterns in age-specific fertility will remain constant throughout a woman's reproductive years.

This scatter chart displays birth rate (per 1,000 people) against population (people) in Europe. The data is about countries.
