Analysis# Luxembourg Fertility Rate
Luxembourg's fertility rate stands at 1.25 births per woman in 2024, marking a dramatic decline from its 1965 peak of 2.42. The country has experienced a 45.4% decrease since 1960, reflecting broader demographic shifts across developed economies. Currently matching its all-time low reached in 2023, Luxembourg's fertility rate remains well below the 2.1 replacement level needed to sustain population growth without immigration.
The sharpest decline occurred between 2015 and 2022, when the rate fell from 1.47 to 1.31 births per woman. A slight stabilization emerged in 2023–2024, with the rate holding steady at 1.25. Unless reversed by policy interventions or migration patterns, Luxembourg's persistently low fertility rate will continue shaping its demographic composition and workforce dynamics in coming decades.
