Analysis# Czech Republic Fertility Rate
Czech Republic's fertility rate stands at 1.36 births per woman in 2024, representing a significant decline from its 1974 peak of 2.46. The country has experienced a 34.9% drop since 1960, though the current rate remains well above the historic low of 1.13 recorded in 1999. This modest recovery from the late-1990s nadir reflects gradual improvements in birth rates over the past two decades.
A striking reversal emerged between 2015 and 2021, when the fertility rate climbed from 1.57 to 1.83—the strongest growth period in the dataset. However, this momentum reversed sharply in 2022, plummeting to 1.64 and continuing downward to 1.36 by 2024. The recent three-year decline suggests renewed demographic headwinds, placing Czech Republic's fertility trajectory firmly below replacement level with no clear indication of stabilization.
