Analysis# Indonesia Fertility Rate
Indonesia's fertility rate stands at 2.115 births per woman in 2024, marking a historic low and the endpoint of a dramatic six-decade decline. The country's peak fertility of 5.593 births per woman in 1965 reflected a post-independence population boom, but the rate has since fallen by 61.6 percent. This sustained contraction reflects sweeping changes in family planning, education, and economic development across the archipelago.
The downward trend accelerated noticeably from 2015 onward, dropping from 2.346 to 2.115 births per woman over nine years—a decline of roughly 0.025 births per woman annually. Indonesia's fertility rate now sits just above replacement level, suggesting continued population stabilization. The consistent year-over-year decreases signal that family size preferences continue shifting toward smaller households, driven by expanded female workforce participation and improved access to contraception.
