Analysis# Morocco Fertility Rate
Morocco's fertility rate stands at 2.208 births per woman in 2024, representing the lowest point in the nation's recorded demographic history. This figure contrasts sharply with the peak of 7.046 births per woman recorded in 1962, reflecting a dramatic 67.9% decline over six decades. The current rate places Morocco near replacement level, a transformation that mirrors broader demographic shifts across the Middle East and North Africa region.
The decline has accelerated noticeably since 2015, when the rate was 2.406 births per woman. Year-over-year decreases have remained consistent through 2024, with annual drops averaging roughly 0.02 births per woman. This sustained downward trajectory suggests Morocco's fertility rate will likely continue declining, driven by rising educational attainment, increased female labor force participation, and broader access to family planning resources.
