Analysis# Ukraine Fertility Rate
Ukraine's fertility rate stands at 0.988 births per woman in 2024, reflecting one of Europe's lowest demographic rates. The country has experienced a dramatic 56.8% decline since its 1960 peak of 2.285 births per woman. From 1960 through the early 2010s, Ukraine maintained relatively stable fertility levels above 1.2, but the trajectory shifted sharply downward in the following decade.
The steepest decline occurred between 2021 and 2022, when the fertility rate plummeted from 1.148 to 0.897 births per woman—the lowest point in the recorded dataset. The 2022 low coincides with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a factor that likely accelerated demographic decline. A modest recovery to 0.988 by 2024 suggests stabilization rather than sustained growth, positioning Ukraine among countries facing significant long-term population challenges.
