In 2023, the crude birth rate in live births per 1,000 inhabitants in Egypt was 21. Between 1960 and 2023, the figure dropped by 26.47, though the decline followed an uneven course rather than a steady trajectory.

In Egypt, the crude birth rate in 1900 was 42 live births per thousand people. In the first decade of the 20th century, Egypt’s crude birth rate remained steady at this number, however, the rate began to climb during and in the decade following the First World War, peaking at 47.22 births per thousand people in 1930. After bottoming out at 44.08 births per thousand people following the Great Depression and the Second World War, Egypt’s birth rate began to rise, especially so in the years immediately following the establishment of the Egyptian republic in 1950. As both part of the global baby boom and the result of a booming Egyptian economy, the birth rate jumped by 6 in just five years, peaking in 1955 at 51.4 births per thousand people. The crude birth rate in Egypt dropped sharply after the 1955 peak, as the result of a slowing economy in the late 1960s, and strong government promotion of family planning services and programs, bottoming out at 25.2 in 2005. The crude birth rate saw a sharp reversal in the early 2010s, rising from 25.3 births per thousand people in 2010 to 28.9 in 2015, which some studies suggest could be attributed to disruptions in family planning services following severe civil unrest, however, this rate is has fallen again in recent years, to 26.5 births per thousand people in 2020.
