Analysis# Turkmenistan Fertility Rate
Turkmenistan's fertility rate stands at 2.661 births per woman in 2024, representing a dramatic decline from its 1963 peak of 6.788 births per woman. Over the past 64 years, the country has experienced a 59.6% reduction in fertility, placing it among the steepest demographic shifts in Central Asia. The current rate matches the all-time low, indicating that fertility decline has stabilized at replacement level.
The consistent downward trend accelerated notably after 2015, when the rate was 3.033 births per woman. Year-over-year decreases have averaged roughly 0.04 births per woman since then, reflecting sustained demographic transition driven by urbanization, improved female education, and family planning access. With fertility now holding steady near 2.66, Turkmenistan appears to have entered a plateau phase where further significant declines are unlikely without major socioeconomic shifts.
