Analysis# Mongolia Fertility Rate
Mongolia's fertility rate stands at 2.5 births per woman in 2024, representing a dramatic decline from its 1966 peak of 7.409 births per woman. Since 1960, the country has experienced a 63.3% decrease in fertility, marking one of the steepest demographic transitions in the region. The all-time low of 2 births per woman occurred in 2003, after which the rate stabilized in the 2.7–3.0 range for over a decade.
The most significant turning point occurred between the mid-1960s and early 2000s, when rapid urbanization, improved female education, and increased access to contraception fundamentally reshaped reproductive patterns. Recent data from 2015 onward shows a gentle downward trajectory, with the rate declining from 3.0 to 2.5 over nine years. This sustained decrease suggests Mongolia's fertility will likely continue converging toward replacement-level fertility or below.
