Analysis# Honduras Fertility Rate
Honduras's fertility rate stands at 2.476 births per woman in 2024, marking a historic low for the country. This figure represents a dramatic 66.8% decline from the 1960 peak of 7.458 births per woman, one of the steepest demographic shifts in Central America over the past six decades. The current rate places Honduras in the replacement-level fertility range, a substantial departure from its mid-20th-century profile as a high-fertility nation.
The decline accelerated noticeably from 2015 onward, dropping from 2.746 to 2.476 births per woman over nine years. Year-over-year decreases have remained consistent, averaging roughly 0.03 births per woman annually since 2015. This steady downward trajectory reflects broader patterns of urbanization, increased educational attainment among women, and improved access to family planning across Central America.
