Analysis# Montenegro Fertility Rate
Montenegro's fertility rate stands at 1.8 births per woman in 2024, reflecting a dramatic demographic shift over six decades. The country has experienced a 49% decline since 1960, when the rate peaked at 3.532 births per woman. Currently hovering well above the all-time low of 1.65 recorded in 2011, Montenegro's fertility rate remains below replacement level, a pattern common across Southern Europe.
The sharpest decline occurred between 1960 and 2011, driven by urbanization, increased female education, and economic development. Since that low point, the rate has stabilized, fluctuating narrowly between 1.74 and 1.8 births per woman from 2015 through 2024. This recent plateau suggests fertility has reached an equilibrium rather than continuing its steep downward trajectory, though the rate remains insufficient for natural population growth without migration.
