Analysis# Kazakhstan Fertility Rate
Kazakhstan's fertility rate stands at 2.984 births per woman in 2024, reflecting a substantial decline from its 1960 peak of 4.495. The country has experienced a 33.6% decrease over six decades, though current levels remain well above the historic low of 1.898 recorded in 2000. This positioning places Kazakhstan in moderate territory within regional comparisons, balancing between high-fertility nations and those with below-replacement rates.
The most dramatic shifts occurred between 1960 and 2000, when fertility collapsed by more than half. Since hitting bottom two decades ago, the rate has rebounded and stabilized around 2.7–3.3 births per woman. A notable spike emerged from 2019 to 2021, peaking at 3.32, followed by a modest decline through 2024. The current downward trajectory suggests Kazakhstan's fertility rate may continue moderating in coming years, though whether it will approach the 2000 minimum remains uncertain.
