In 2024, Monaco was the European country estimated to have the highest fertility rate. The country had a fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman. Other small countries such as Gibraltar or Montenegro also came towards the top of the list for 2024, while the large country with the highest fertility rate was France, with 1.64 children per woman. On the other hand, Ukraine had the lowest fertility rate, averaging around one child per woman.

In 2025, the total fertility rate in Europe was estimated to be 1.41 births per woman compared with 2.7 in 1950. The fertility rate in Europe fell considerably between 1957 and 1999, falling from 2.62 to 1.4.

The total fertility rate of the world has dropped from around 5 children per woman in 1950, to 2.2 children per woman in 2025, which means that women today are having fewer than half the number of children that women did 75 years ago. Replacement level fertility This change has come as a result of the global demographic transition, and is influenced by factors such as the significant reduction in infant and child mortality, reduced number of child marriages, increased educational and vocational opportunities for women, and the increased efficacy and availability of contraception. While this change has become synonymous with societal progress, it does have wide-reaching demographic impact - if the global average falls below replacement level (roughly 2.1 children per woman), as is expected to happen in the 2050s, then this will lead to long-term population decline on a global scale. Regional variations When broken down by continent, Africa is the only region with a fertility rate above the global average, and, alongside Oceania, it is the only region with a fertility rate above replacement level. Until the 1980s, the average woman in Africa could expect to have 6-7 children over the course of their lifetime, and there are still several countries in Africa where women can still expect to have 5 or more children in 2025. Historically, Europe has had the lowest fertility rates in the world over the past century, falling below replacement level in 1975. Europe's population has grown through a combination of migration and increasing life expectancy, however even high immigration rates could not prevent its population from going into decline in 2021.

The average for 2022 based on 195 countries was 18.38 births per 1000 people. The highest value was in Niger: 45.03 births per 1000 people and the lowest value was in Hong Kong: 4.4 births per 1000 people. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2022. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

For most of the past two centuries, falling birth rates have been associated with societal progress. During the demographic transition, where pre-industrial societies modernize in terms of fertility and mortality, falling death rates, especially among infants and children, are the first major change. In response, as more children survive into adulthood, women have fewer children as the need to compensate for child mortality declines. This transition has happened at different times across the world and is an ongoing process, with early industrial countries being the first to transition, and Sub-Saharan African countries being the most recent to do so. Additionally, some Asian countries (particularly China through government policy) have gone through their demographic transitions at a much faster pace than those deemed more developed. Today, in countries such as Japan, Italy, and Germany, birth rates have fallen well below death rates; this is no longer considered a positive demographic trend, as it leads to natural population decline, and may create an over-aged population that could place a burden on healthcare systems.

At the beginning of the 1990s, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) launched a project to conduct international comparative surveys on family and birth rates in European countries (Fertility and Family Surveys - FFS). For the past three decades, Europe has seen profound changes in birth rates, education and family structures. In this context, various authors speak of a "second demographic upheaval". In many European countries, the following trends are emerging: declining birth rates, together with combined birth rates which remain below the level necessary for generational survival (1.49 in Switzerland at the time of the survey in 1994 and 1.50 in 1996), a declining tendency to marry and the emergence of new family forms (consensual couples, single-parent families, blended families). If these trends continue, significant demographic consequences are to be expected, with correspondingly drastic consequences for social and economic organisation (one issue is above all the ageing of the population). The collection of biographical data makes it possible to collect detailed information at the individual level, which supplements the census data. The course of life in our society is becoming increasingly complex and diverse. Censuses can collect little information on the biography of individuals, but this information is essential for understanding and explaining changes in behaviour in terms of birth rates and partnership. The collection of biographical data thus provides an important basis for statistics and scientific research. Another objective of this study is to provide information to those involved in the development of family and social policies. An optional module of the questionnaire (not adopted by Switzerland) is dedicated to population policy and serves to monitor the effectiveness of this policy. The plan for an international survey on family and birth rates in Europe therefore pursues the following objectives: - Providing information on families and birth rates that complements census and marital status data and can be used for scientific purposes, but also for political and administrative purposes; - Provision of data that can be used to develop more precise population scenarios; - Testing of new hypotheses concerning the determinants of parental and partnership behaviour; - Investigation of problems related to family and birth policies; - Comparisons of recent developments in family and birth rates in European countries. Each participating country carries out a representative sample survey based on a standardised questionnaire. The data collected are therefore comparable with those of other countries. The Swiss Federal Statistical Office had planned to conduct a survey on family and birth rates as part of its microcensus programme. Official statistics in our country have few data that allow an analysis of the profound changes in this area. The project of the Economic Commission for Europe offered Switzerland the opportunity to conduct such a survey and at the same time participate in an international comparative research programme. The basic concept for this was drawn up in 1992. The Swiss Federal Statistical Office, which collaborated with the Institute of Sociology at the University of Zurich and the Laboratoire de démographie économique et sociale at the University of Geneva, was in charge of the overall management of the project on behalf of the Federal Council. The objectives of the survey were as follows: - To provide an overview of recent developments and the current situation of the family and the birth rate in Switzerland; - To study the interactions between education, employment, family lifestyles and birth rates; - To shed light on the changes in attitudes and values about family and child. This survey allows (lifecourse-related) longitudinal analyses as a supplement to the (momentary) cross-sectional studies of the situation in the areas of birth rate, tendency to marry and household structure based on census and civil status data. This information is intended for those involved in social and family policy decisions and for scientific research. Anfangs der 90er Jahre lanciert die Wirtschaftskommission für Europa (Economic Commission for Europe - ECE) der Vereinten Nationen ein Projekt, das die Durchführung international vergleichender Erhebungen über Familie und Geburtenhäufigkeit in den Ländern Europas vorsah (Fertility and Family Surveys - FFS). Seit drei Jahrzehnten ist in Europa ein tiefgreifender Wandel in den Bereichen Geburtenhäufigkeit, Ausbildung und Familienstrukturen zu beobachten. Verschiedene Autoren sprechen in diesem Zusammenhang von einem "zweiten demographischen Umbruch". In zahlreichen europäischen Ländern zeichnen sich folgende Trends ab: sinkende Geburtenhäufigkeit, zusammen mit zusammengefassten Geburtenziffern, welche weiterhin unter den für den Generationenerhalt notwendigen Wert liegen (1,49 in der Schweiz zum Erhebungszeitpunkt 1994 und 1,50 im Jahr 1996), Rückgang der Heiratsneigung und Aufkommen neuer Familienformen (Konsensualpaare, Einelternfamilien, Fortsetzungsfamilien). Falls diese Trends weiter anhalten, ist mit bedeutenden demographischen Konsequenzen zu rechnen, mit entsprechend einscheidenden Folgen für die gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Organisation (ein Thema ist vor allem die Alterung der Bevölkerung). Die Erhebung von biographischen Daten gestattet es, detaillierte Informationen auf der Stufe des Einzelnen zu sammeln, welche die Volkszählungsdaten ergänzen. Die Lebensverläufe in unserer Gesellschaft werden immer komplexer und vielfältiger. Bei den Volkszählungen können nur wenige Informationen zur Biographie des Einzelnen erhoben werden; diese Angaben sind aber von grundlegender Bedeutung, wenn es darum geht, Verhaltensänderungen im Bereich Geburtenhäufigkeit und Partnerschaft zu verstehen und zu erklären. Die Erhebung von biographischen Daten liefert demnach wichtige Grundlagen für die Statistik und die wissenschaftliche Forschung. Ein weiteres Ziel dieses Projekts besteht darin, Informationen für die Personen bereitszustellen, die mit der Ausarbeitung der Familien- und Sozialpolitik befasst sind. Ein (von der Schweiz nicht übernommenes) fakultatives Modul des Fragebogens ist denn auch der Bevölkerungspolitik gewidmet und dient zur Überprüfung der Wirksamkeit dieser Politik. Der Plan einer internationalen Erhebung über Familie und Geburtenhäufigkeit in Europa verfolgt somit folgende Zielsetzungen: - Bereitstellung von Informationen über Familien und Geburtenhäufigkeit, welche die Volkszählungs- und Zivilstandsdaten ergänzen und für wissenschaftliche Zwecke, aber auch für die Belange der Politik und der Verwaltung verwendet werden können; - Bereitstellung von Daten, welche zur Erarbeitung von genaueren Bevölkerungsszenarien dienen können; - Testen neuer Hypothesen betreffend die Determinanten des Eltern- und Partnerschaftsverhaltens; - Untersuchung der Probleme im Zusammenhang mit der Familien- und Geburtenpolitik; - Vergleiche der neueren Entwicklungen im Bereich Familie und Geburtenhäufigkeit in den europäischen Ländern. Jedes teilnehmende Land führt eine für die Bevölkerung repräsentative Stichprobenerhebung durch, welche auf einem standardisierten Fragebogen basiert. Die erhobenen Daten sind demnach mit denjenigen anderer Länder vergleichbar. Das Bundesamt für Statistik hatte im Rahmen seines Mikrozensus-Programms die Durchführung einer Erhebung über Familie und Geburtenhäufigkeit geplant. Die amtliche Statistik in unserem Land verfügt nur über wenige Daten, die eine Analyse des tiefgreifenden Wandels in diesem Bereich ermöglichen. Das Projekt der Wirtschaftskommission für Europa bot der Schweiz die Möglichkeit, eine solche Erhebung durchzuführen und sich gleichzeitig an einem international vergleichenden Forschungsprogramm zu beteiligen. 1992 wurde das Grundkonzept dafür erstellt. Die Gesamtleitung des im Auftrag des Bundesrats realisierten Projekts lag beim Bundesamt für Statistik, das mit dem Soziologischen Institut der Universität Zürich und dem Laboratoire de démographie économique et sociale der Universität Genf zusammenarbeitete. Die Erhebung verfolgte folgende Zielsetzungen: - Erarbeiten eines Überblicks über die jüngste Entwicklung und die aktuelle Lage der Familie und der Geburtenhäufigkeit in der Schweiz; - Untersuchen der Wechselwirkungen zwischen Ausbildung, Erwerbstätigkeit, familialen Lebensformen und Geburtenhäufigkeit; - Aufschluss geben über den Wandel der Einstellungen und Werthaltungen über Familie und Kind. Diese Erhebung ermöglicht (lebenslaufbezogene) Längsschnittanalysen als Ergänzung zu den auf Volkszählungs- und Zivilstandsdaten basierenden (momentbezogenen) Querschnittuntersuchungen der Situation in den Bereichen Geburtenhäufigkeit, Heiratsneigung und Haushaltsstruktur. Diese Informationen sind für die mit sozial- und familienpolitischen Entscheiden befassten Personen sowie für die wissenschaftliche Forschung bestimmt.

Background and Aims: Declining fertility is a key driver behind the rapid aging of populations worldwide. Finland has experienced a 25% decline in fertility from 2010 to date and ranks low even on the European and Nordic scales. This study aimed to address the association between sociodemographic indicators and birth rate (i.e., live births relative to total population) in Finland.Methods: Open data on 310 Finnish municipalities were retrieved from the public database of Statistics Finland. Several sociodemographic subdimensions (population structure, education and income, location and living, divorces, car ownership rate, and crime rate), each converted to standard deviation units, were modeled against birth rate at the municipality level using generalized estimating equations.Results: In this dataset, average annual birth rate was 8.8 per 1,000 individuals. Birth rate was positively associated with change in population size (rate ratio 1.06, 95% confidence interval 1.04−1.08), percentage of

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 3.6 million babies born in 2023. 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.

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.

In 2021, there were **** births per 1,000 people in Northern Ireland, compared with eleven in the previous year. Between 2000 and 2008, Northern Ireland's birth rate increased from **** to **** but started to decline gradually until 2012 when it dropped from **** to **** in just one year. During this provided time period, the birth rate in Northern Ireland was highest in 1971, when it was **** and was at its lowest in 2020 when there were just eleven births per 1,000 people. Falling birth rates in the UK For the United Kingdom as a whole, the birth rate fell to **** births per 1,000 people in 2020, before a slight uptick to **** in 2021. After a postwar peak of **** births per 1,000 people in 1964, the UK birth rate fell sharply to just **** by 1977. Between 1977 and 2012 the birth rate fluctuated between **** and ****, but declined in every year between 2012 and 2020. In 2021, the UK's fertility rate (the number of births per women) fell to just ****, compared with **** in 1964. Since 1973, the UK has fallen below the minimum replacement level fertility rate of ***, and without immigration would likely see its population decline in the long term. Global demographic trends The considerable decline in the UK's fertility rate in recent decades is not an isolated phenomenon. As of 2024, Africa was, at ****, the only continent to have a fertility rate higher than the global average of ****. Several countries, mainly in East Asia and Europe, have far lower fertility rates than the UK or the global average, however. South Korea provides the most dramatic example of this trend, with its fertility rate falling from **** in 1960 to just **** by 2020. By the *****, it is expected that, as Africa's fertility rate converges with the rest of the world, the global population will peak at around **** billion and start to decline.

In 2021 the live birth rate of the United Kingdom fell to 10.4 births per 1,000 population, the lowest it had been during this time period. The UK's birth rate has been declining steadily since 2010 when the birth rate was 12.9 births per 1,000 population. After 1938, the year with the highest birth rate in the UK was 1947, when the crude birth rate was 21.2 births per 1,000 population. Under two children per mother in 2021 The most recent crude live birth rate for this statistic is based on the 694,685 births, that occurred in 2021 as well as the mid-year population estimate of 67 million for the United Kingdom. It has a close relation to the fertility rate which estimates the average number of children women are expected to have in their lifetime, which was 1.53 in this reporting year. Among the constituent countries of the UK, Northern Ireland had the highest birth rate at 11.6, followed by England at 10.5, Wales at 9.3, and Scotland at 8.7. International comparisons The UK is not alone in seeing its birth and fertility rates decline dramatically in recent decades. Across the globe, fertility rates have fallen noticeably since the 1960s, with the fertility rate for Asia, Europe, and the Americas being below two in 2021. As of this year, the global fertility rate was 2.31, and was by far the highest in Africa, which had a fertility rate of 4.12, although this too has fallen from a high of 6.72 in the late 1960s. A reduction in infant mortality, as well as better access to contraception, are factors that have typically influenced declining fertility rates recently.

We present a new sample of mid-L to mid-T dwarfs with effective temperatures of 1100-1700K selected from the UKIDSS Large Area Survey (LAS) and confirmed with infrared spectra from X-shooter/Very Large Telescope. This effective temperature range is especially sensitive to the formation history of Galactic brown dwarfs and allows us to constrain the form of the sub-stellar birth rate, with sensitivity to differentiate between a flat (stellar like) birth rate and an exponentially declining form. We present the discovery of 63 new L and T dwarfs from the UKIDSS LAS DR7, including the identification of 12 likely unresolved binaries, which form the first complete sub-set from our programme, covering 495 square degrees of sky, complete to J=18.1. We compare our results for this sub-sample with simulations of differing birth rates for objects of masses 0.10-0.03M_{sun}_ and ages 1-10Gyr. We find that the more extreme birth rates (e.g. a halo type form) can likely be excluded as the true form of the birth rate. In addition, we find that although there is substantial scatter we find a preference for a mass function, with a power-law index {alpha} in the range -1<{alpha}<0 that is consistent (within the errors) with the studies of late T dwarfs.

The main reasons for the negative consequences of demographic changes are: natural increase in the life span of the population, decline in fertility and emigration of unusual dimensions.

In 2023, about 3.66 million babies were born in the European Union, a slight decrease from the year before. In the same year, the most children born in any EU country were born in Germany. Live births are the births of children excluding stillbirths; a key figure that can provide insight to demographic analyses, such as population growth. Population growth in EuropeEurope is the continent with the second-highest life expectancy at birth and has favorable living conditions due to factors such as a stable economy, and a high quality of public health and medical care. The European Union’s population has remained securely around 450 million inhabitants, though it has been increasing slowly from 2008 to 2023.

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 Europe diaper market is projected to grow by over USD 2 billion from 2024 to 2029, driven by increasing birth rates in some countries.

The study charted Finnish people's values and attitudes. The themes of the Autumn 2020 survey included the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, financing the welfare state, happiness, equality, birth rate, and social problems. First, the respondents were presented with a variety of attitudinal statements concerning, among other topics, the Government's actions to combat COVID-19, politics, employment, reliability of information, and alcohol use. Next, the survey examined the respondents' attitudes towards rebalancing public finance after the COVID-19 pandemic. Opinions on financing the welfare state were also charted with various questions. For instance, it has been said that financing the welfare state requires that Finns must work more/longer in the future than they do at present, one way or other. Relating to this statement, the respondents were asked to evaluate whether several ways of achieving the goal of making Finns work more/longer were good or bad (e.g. increasing the number of weekly working hours or making it more difficult to take early retirement or get disability pension). Everyday well-being and happiness were also surveyed. The respondents were asked how happy they were at present and how satisfied they were with various matters, such as their income level, relationship status, and opportunities to influence in society. Questions also focused on what the respondents thought contributed to a happy life, for instance whether they thought that good relationships, health, social respect, interesting hobbies, or spirituality were prerequisites for happiness. Several questions charted views on equality and inequality among Finns (e.g. the presence of gender, generational, regional and occupational equality/inequality in Finland). Views on the reasons behind the low birth rate in Finland were examined next (e.g. whether the respondents thought unemployment or general uncertainty contributed to the low birth rate). The respondents were also asked which policy means they thought might be effective in increasing the birth rate. Social problems were examined with questions on whether the respondents had personally experienced or otherwise closely witnessed problems such as anxiety or depression, bullying, substance addiction, problem use of alcohol, or gambling problems, during the past few years. Finally, the respondents' views were surveyed regarding the impact of Donald Trump and his administration on, for instance, the global status of and respect for the United States. Opinions on Finland's EU membership and the euro as Finland's currency were also examined. Background variables included gender, age group, size of the respondent's municipality of residence, region of residence, employer type, employment status, type of employment contract, occupational group, employment sector, trade union membership, political party preference (which party the respondent would vote for), self-perceived social class, and annual income of the respondent's household.

The DACH region refers to the Central European area of Germany (D), Austria (A), and Switzerland (CH). In 2024, these countries had a combined population of ****** million people. Germany is, by far, the largest of the three countries, with a population of more than ***** million; almost ten times larger than those of Austria or Switzerland. Growth rates However, population growth across the region has been relatively slow during the past two decades, with Germany's population growing by fewer than two million since 2000, which is an increase of just two percent. In contrast, Austria's population has grown by roughly 12 percent, while Switzerland's has increased by over 20 percent, but the overall change in the DACH region's population is less than five percent due to the disproportionate amount of people in Germany. Migration The reason for low population growth is due to the historically low birth rates in Germany. Since 1972, Germany's death rate has consistently exceeded its birth rate, giving an overall natural decline. Austria and Switzerland have also experienced similar trends in some years, but generally see a natural increase. Because of this, population growth is often dependent on migration. The most significant rise in the DACH area's population came in around 2015, during the Syrian migrant crisis. In Europe, Germany took in the largest number of Syrian refugees during this period, while Austria had one of the highest acceptance rates in proportion to its population. This is in addition to the relatively high number of refugees Germany and Austria accept from other countries, especially Afghanistan. Not all migrants are refugees, however, as the high living standards in all three countries attract large numbers of economic migrants from the rest of the world, especially Southern and Eastern Europe.

The European baby food market, valued at approximately €XX million in 2025, is projected to experience robust growth, driven by several key factors. Rising disposable incomes across several European nations, coupled with increasing awareness of the importance of proper nutrition in early childhood development, are significantly boosting demand. The preference for convenient, ready-to-eat options like prepared baby food is also fueling market expansion, particularly amongst working parents. Furthermore, the growing popularity of organic and specialized baby food products catering to specific dietary needs and allergies is creating new market segments and opportunities for innovation. The market is segmented by product type (milk formula, dried baby food, prepared baby food, and others) and distribution channel (supermarkets/hypermarkets, pharmacies, convenience stores, and online retail). While supermarkets and hypermarkets currently hold a dominant market share, the online retail segment is witnessing exponential growth, fueled by increasing internet penetration and the convenience of home delivery. However, certain factors are expected to restrain market growth. Fluctuations in raw material prices, particularly for key ingredients like milk and fruits, could impact profitability and product pricing. Stringent regulatory frameworks regarding food safety and labeling also add to the operational costs for manufacturers. Additionally, increasing competition among established players and the emergence of new entrants could intensify price pressure and impact profit margins. Despite these challenges, the long-term outlook for the European baby food market remains positive, with the continuing rise in birth rates in certain regions and growing focus on premium and specialized baby food products expected to maintain a steady CAGR of 5.20% through 2033. Key players like Nestlé, Hipp, and Danone are strategically investing in research and development, product diversification, and expanding their distribution networks to capitalize on these market opportunities. Recent developments include: July 2022: Danone has launched the new Dairy & Plants Blend baby formula to meet parents' desire for feeding options suitable for vegetarian, flexitarian, and plant-based diets while still meeting their baby's specific nutritional requirements. Danone launched the new Dairy & Plants Blend formula first in the Netherlands - under the Nutrilon brand, as infant formula, follow-on formula, and toddler formula - and later in other countries - under the global Aptamil brand., June 2022: In the United Kingdom, Organix launched two new product ranges: a line of baby meals and a line of kids' snacks. The baby food range is designed for babies ages six to twelve months and up, and kids' snacks are designed primarily for children between the ages of three and six., October 2021: A new "inclusive" baby food line was introduced by Oliver's Cupboard in the United Kingdom. There are six pouches in the new range, which are made from organic and halal ingredients.. Notable trends are: Growing Demand for Organic Food Aiding the Demand Organic Baby Foods.
