Analysis# Comoros Fertility Rate
Comoros recorded a fertility rate of 3.822 births per woman in 2024, marking a dramatic decline from its 1973 peak of 7.165 births per woman. Since 1960, the country has experienced a 43.7% decrease in fertility, reflecting substantial shifts in reproductive patterns across six decades. The current rate represents an all-time low for the nation.
The decline accelerated notably from 2015 onward, dropping from 4.42 births per woman to 3.822 in just nine years. Annual decreases have remained consistent and steady throughout this period, averaging roughly 0.07 births per woman annually. Comoros' downward trajectory aligns with broader demographic transitions across Africa, driven by improved access to education, healthcare, and family planning services. The consistent reduction suggests fertility will likely continue declining in coming years.
