Analysis# Fiji Fertility Rate
Fiji's fertility rate stands at 2.27 births per woman in 2024, marking a dramatic 64.3% decline from its 1960 peak of 6.364 births per woman. The current rate also represents the lowest point in the recorded data spanning 1960 to 2024. This sustained downward trajectory reflects fundamental shifts in family planning, education, and economic development across the Pacific nation over six decades.
The decline has been remarkably consistent, with annual reductions occurring nearly every year since 2015. From 2015 to 2024, the fertility rate dropped from 2.567 to 2.27 births per woman—a steady deceleration averaging roughly 0.03 births per woman annually. The trajectory suggests Fiji's fertility rate continues approaching replacement level, consistent with patterns observed in middle-income nations experiencing rising female workforce participation and improved access to contraception.
