Analysis# Cyprus Fertility Rate
Cyprus recorded 1.38 births per woman in 2024, representing a dramatic decline from its 1961 peak of 3.619 births per woman. The current rate sits just above the country's all-time low of 1.304 births per woman in 2013, reflecting a 59.3% decrease since 1960. This steep contraction mirrors broader demographic shifts across developed Mediterranean economies, driven by higher education rates, delayed childbearing, and changing family preferences.
Recent data reveals stability rather than continued decline. After bottoming out in 2013, Cyprus's fertility rate gradually recovered through the late 2010s and early 2020s, fluctuating between 1.32 and 1.39 births per woman from 2015 to 2024. This modest upward movement suggests a potential stabilization plateau, though the rate remains substantially below replacement level, signaling ongoing demographic challenges for long-term population growth.
