Analysis# Philippines Fertility Rate
The Philippines currently reports a fertility rate of 1.894 births per woman in 2024, marking the lowest point in the country's recorded demographic history. This represents a dramatic decline from the 1960 peak of 6.996 births per woman—a 72.9% decrease over six decades. The nation's fertility has compressed into roughly one-quarter of its historical maximum, reflecting profound shifts in family planning, education, and socioeconomic conditions.
The decline has accelerated markedly since 2015, when the rate stood at 2.829. Annual decreases have become consistent, dropping nearly a full birth per woman over the past nine years. This sustained downward trajectory suggests the Philippines continues moving toward demographic stabilization, with fertility now approaching replacement-level thresholds typical of developed economies.
