Canada CA: Birth Rate: Crude: per 1000 People data is updated yearly, averaging 14.250 Ratio from Dec 1960 (Median) to 2023, with 64 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 26.700 Ratio in 1960 and a record low of 8.800 Ratio in 2023. Canada CA: Birth Rate: Crude: per 1000 People data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Canada – Table CA.World Bank.WDI: Population and Urbanization Statistics. Crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.;(1) United Nations Population Division.

Canada: The number of crude births per 1000 people, per year: The latest value from 2023 is 8.8 births per 1000 people, a decline from 9 births per 1000 people in 2022. In comparison, the world average is 17.86 births per 1000 people, based on data from 196 countries. Historically, the average for Canada from 1960 to 2023 is 14.22 births per 1000 people. The minimum value, 8.8 births per 1000 people, was reached in 2023 while the maximum of 26.7 births per 1000 people was recorded in 1960.

In Canada, the crude birth rate in 1860 was forty live births per thousand people, meaning that four percent of the population had been born in that year. From this point until the turn of the century, the crude birth rate decreases gradually, to just over thirty births per thousand. Over the next twenty years, this number hovers just below thirty, and thereafter it decreases much more rapidly than before, to 20.7 in 1940, before Canada's baby boom in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, where the birth rate increased to over 27. From the end of the baby boom until the late 1970s the population decreases rapidly again, before the rate of decline then slows. Since 1975, the crude birth rate of Canada will have dropped from 15.6, to it's lowest point in 2020, where it is expected to be just 10.5 births per thousand people.

The number of deaths per 1,000 inhabitants in Canada amounted to *** in 2023. Between 1960 and 2023, the death rate rose by ***, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows six condensed maps of different demographic statistics. The six measures are: birth rates per 1000 population, death rates per 1000 population, natural increase rates per 1000 population, marriage rates per 1000 population, infant mortality rates per 1000 live births, and number of children at home per family. The data for the maps on this plate were derived from the 1951 Census of Canada. It should be noted that birth rates, death rates and infant mortality rates are exclusive of stillborn births and that infant mortality rates are for infant mortalities under one year of age. The map entitled Children at Home pertains to unmarried sons and daughters, including stepchildren, adopted children, guardianship children and wards 24 years of age and under, living with their parents or guardians.

Number and percentage of live births, by month of birth, 1991 to most recent year.

Number of infant deaths and infant mortality rates, by age group (neonatal and post-neonatal), 1991 to most recent year.

Number of live births and fetal deaths (stillbirths), by type of birth (single or multiple), 1991 to most recent year.

This scatter chart displays birth rate (per 1,000 people) against median age (year) in Canada. The data is about countries per year.

In 2023, around 50 children were born per thousand Asian women in the United States. The highest birth rate was among Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander mothers, at 79 percent during the same year.

Variables The data consists of fertility rates, given for each year (1882-1954) of births per 1000 ever-married women by single years of age, 15 to 49. The data was derived by matching vital statistics on birth with data on population exposed to risk, which came in part from population censuses and in part from intercensal estimation.
