Analysis# Guinea Fertility Rate
Guinea's fertility rate stands at 4.131 births per woman in 2024, marking a substantial 32.4% decline since 1960. The country peaked at 6.571 births per woman in 1987, nearly 60% higher than today's level. This downward shift reflects significant demographic changes across six decades, positioning Guinea's current rate at both its historical low and a point of meaningful transition from its high-fertility past.
The most dramatic decline occurred between 2015 and 2024, when the fertility rate dropped from 5.002 to 4.131 births per woman—a loss of nearly one birth per woman in just nine years. This accelerating downward trend suggests sustained progress in family planning, educational access, and women's economic participation. If current momentum continues, Guinea's fertility rate will likely remain on a declining trajectory, aligning with broader demographic shifts across West Africa.
