Analysis# Argentina Fertility Rate
Argentina's fertility rate stands at 1.504 births per woman in 2024, near its all-time low of 1.482 recorded in 2022. The country has experienced a dramatic 52% decline since 1960, when the rate was substantially higher. The peak fertility of 3.359 births per woman in 1977 marked the end of Argentina's post-war demographic expansion. Over the past six decades, the nation has transitioned from a growing population profile to one characterized by below-replacement fertility levels.
The sharpest decline occurred between 2015 and 2021, when the fertility rate dropped from 2.35 to 1.585 births per woman. A particularly steep fall happened in 2020, plummeting to 1.601—likely reflecting pandemic-related uncertainties. Since reaching its recent low point in 2022, the rate has stabilized slightly, hovering around 1.50. This stabilization suggests Argentina's fertility rate has plateaued near demographic replacement challenges typical of developed economies.
