Analysis# Liechtenstein Fertility Rate
Liechtenstein's fertility rate stands at 1.37 births per woman in 2024, near its all-time low of 1.36 recorded in 2003. The nation has experienced a dramatic 50.7% decline since 1960, when fertility rates were substantially higher. The peak of 2.963 births per woman in 1965 reflects the post-war baby boom that characterized much of Europe, making the subsequent decline particularly pronounced.
Recent years show volatility rather than a clear downward trajectory. Between 2015 and 2024, the rate fluctuated between 1.37 and 1.61, with no sustained recovery. The 2024 figure of 1.37 represents a return to near-record lows, suggesting fertility rates remain constrained. This pattern aligns with broader European trends of delayed childbearing, smaller family sizes, and demographic aging in developed economies.
