Analysis# Myanmar Fertility Rate
Myanmar's fertility rate stands at 2.098 births per woman in 2024, marking the lowest point in recorded history. This represents a dramatic decline from the 1965 peak of 5.912 births per woman—a 64.4% decrease over six decades. The country's demographic transition reflects broader patterns of development, urbanization, and increased access to family planning across Southeast Asia.
The downward trajectory has accelerated noticeably in recent years. Between 2015 and 2024, the fertility rate fell from 2.266 to 2.098 births per woman, demonstrating consistent year-over-year declines averaging 0.02 births per woman annually. With Myanmar's rate now approaching the replacement level of 2.1, the country faces emerging challenges typical of aging populations, including workforce sustainability and pension system pressures in the coming decades.
