Analysis# Sudan Fertility Rate
Sudan's fertility rate stands at 4.264 births per woman in 2024, representing a dramatic shift from its 1971 peak of 7.019 births per woman. Over the past 64 years, the country has experienced a 36.0% decline in fertility, though current levels remain elevated compared to global averages. The downward trajectory reflects ongoing changes in family planning, education, and socioeconomic conditions across Sudanese society.
The consistent decline from 2015 onward reveals a sustained downward trend, dropping from 4.898 to 4.264 births per woman in just nine years. Annual decreases have remained steady, averaging roughly 0.07 births per woman annually during this period. If this momentum continues, Sudan's fertility rate will likely fall further, aligning gradually with demographic transitions seen in neighboring regions.
