Analysis# Madagascar Fertility Rate
Madagascar's fertility rate stands at 3.912 births per woman in 2024, representing a dramatic decline from its 1960 peak of 7.343 births per woman. The nation has experienced a 46.7% reduction over six decades, though the current rate remains considerably higher than global averages, reflecting Madagascar's young and rapidly growing population.
The downward trajectory has accelerated notably since 2015, dropping from 4.335 to 3.912 births per woman in just nine years. This consistent annual decline of approximately 0.04–0.05 births per woman suggests sustained improvements in female education, access to family planning services, and economic development. If current momentum continues, Madagascar's fertility rate should continue its gradual convergence toward lower levels observed in more developed economies.
