Analysis# Russian Federation Fertility Rate
The Russian Federation's fertility rate stands at 1.418 births per woman in 2024, representing a dramatic decline from its 1960 peak of 2.52. This 43.7% decrease reflects decades of demographic contraction, though the current level remains well above the nation's historical low of 1.157 recorded in 1999. The fertility rate has remained relatively stable in the 1.4–1.5 range since 2015, suggesting a plateau after years of sharper decline.
Russia experienced its steepest fertility collapse during the 1990s and early 2000s, a period coinciding with economic transition and social upheaval. A modest recovery emerged between 2015 and 2017, peaking at 1.777 births per woman before resuming its downward trajectory. Recent years show stabilization rather than recovery, with 2024's 1.418 essentially matching 2022 levels, indicating the fertility rate may have found a temporary floor below which further decline seems unlikely in the near term.
