The total fertility rate in the European Union decreased by 0.1 children per woman (-6.58 percent) in 2022 in comparison to the previous year. 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 statistic depicts the number of children born per women aged between 15 and 49 years old in the European Union in 2022, by country. The fertility rate in Europe was highest among women in Romania, France, and Bulgaria, at 1.8 children in each of the mentioned countries.

This statistic depicts the crude birth rate (per 1,000 population) in the European Union and the United Kingdom in 2022. The crude birth rate was highest in Ireland with 11.2 births per thousand women, while Italy had the lowest birth rate with 6.7 births per 1,000 women.

The crude birth rate in Turkey was estimated to be 12.3 live births per 1,000 population in 2023, the highest among countries in Europe. By contrast, Ukraine had the lowest crude birth rate in Europe, at 5.6 live births per 1,000 population.

Crude birth rate : The ratio of the number of live births during the year to the average population in that year. The value is expressed per 1 000 population.

In 2019, the adolescent fertility rate in European countries stood at nearly nine births per 1,000 women between the ages 15 and 19 years. Georgia had, by far the highest adolescent fertility rate with 44 births per 1,000 adolescent women, followed by Bulgaria and Romania. Adolescent fertility rate can be an indicator of unmet family planning needs and especially lacking access to birth control.

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.
