Analysis# Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Fertility Rate
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines recorded a fertility rate of 1.761 births per woman in 2024, marking a dramatic reversal from its 1960 peak of 7.247 births per woman. The nation has experienced a 75.7% decline in fertility over this 64-year span, reflecting profound shifts in family planning, education, and economic development across the Caribbean.
The steepest declines occurred between 1960 and the early 2000s, with rates stabilizing around 1.8–2.1 births per woman by 2015. Since then, fertility has continued its gradual downward trajectory, dropping from 2.133 in 2015 to 1.761 in 2024. This consistent year-over-year decrease suggests the country has reached replacement-level fertility and may face demographic challenges typical of aging populations in coming decades.
