Analysis# Slovakia Fertility Rate
Slovakia's fertility rate stands at 1.46 births per woman in 2024, reflecting a dramatic 52% decline since 1960, when the rate peaked at 3.04. The country reached its modern low of 1.19 births per woman in 2002, before beginning a gradual recovery. Today's figure remains substantially below the 2.1 replacement level, placing Slovakia among Europe's lower-fertility nations.
The most significant turning point occurred between 2002 and 2019, when the fertility rate climbed from 1.19 to 1.57 births per woman. This 32% increase suggested a potential stabilization in birth patterns. However, the recent pattern reverses this trajectory: fertility has declined each year from 2021 to 2024, dropping from 1.63 to 1.46. This downward momentum indicates Slovakia faces continued demographic pressure in the coming years.
