Analysis# Cuba Fertility Rate
Cuba's fertility rate stands at 1.445 births per woman in 2024, reflecting a dramatic demographic transformation over six decades. Since 1960, the rate has plummeted 65.0%, descending from a peak of 4.559 births per woman in 1963 to near its historical low of 1.402 in 2006. The current level ranks among the lowest in the Latin American region, indicating a population that is aging and contracting.
The steepest decline occurred between 1963 and 2006, driven by widespread access to education, contraception, and female workforce participation following the 1959 revolution. After touching bottom in 2006, the rate fluctuated between 1.4 and 1.7 births per woman through 2024, with recent years showing stabilization around 1.44. Barring significant demographic shifts, Cuba's fertility rate will likely remain below replacement level, perpetuating long-term population decline.
