Analysis# Turks and Caicos Islands Fertility Rate
The Turks and Caicos Islands recorded a fertility rate of 1.452 births per woman in 2024, marking both the current and all-time low since 1960. This represents a dramatic 75.8% decline from the peak of 5.991 births per woman in 1960. The island nation has undergone profound demographic transformation over six decades, shifting from high fertility patterns typical of mid-20th-century Caribbean populations to one of the lowest rates in the region.
The downward trajectory has accelerated in recent years. Between 2015 and 2024, the fertility rate fell steadily from 1.718 to 1.452 births per woman, with particularly sharp drops occurring after 2019. This consistent decline suggests ongoing demographic momentum driven by increased female educational attainment, economic development, and changing family planning preferences. The fertility rate shows no signs of reversal, positioning the Turks and Caicos Islands among the lowest-fertility populations globally.
