Analysis# Algeria Fertility Rate
Algeria's fertility rate stands at 2.723 births per woman in 2024, representing a dramatic decline from its 1967 peak of 7.712 births per woman. Since 1960, the country has experienced a 63.7% decrease in fertility, though current levels remain above the all-time low of 2.429 recorded in 2002. This sustained downward trajectory reflects fundamental shifts in Algerian society, including increased urbanization, higher female education levels, and broader access to family planning.
The past decade reveals a consistent, accelerating decline. From 2015 to 2024, Algeria's fertility rate fell from 3.091 to 2.723 births per woman—a decrease of approximately 12% in just nine years. This recent momentum suggests the country continues moving toward lower fertility levels, likely driven by ongoing economic and social development. The steady annual drops indicate this trend will probably persist in the near term.
