Analysis# Venezuela Fertility Rate
Venezuela's fertility rate stands at 2.077 births per woman in 2024, marking a historic low and the final point in a 64-year decline. The country's demographic trajectory has shifted dramatically since 1960, when women averaged 6.382 births—a 67.5% decrease over six decades. From peak to present, Venezuela has undergone one of the most substantial fertility transitions in the region, moving from high natural growth toward replacement-level reproduction.
The decline accelerated noticeably from 2015 onward, dropping from 2.253 to 2.077 births per woman in just nine years. This recent steepening reflects broader socioeconomic pressures, including economic instability and migration, which have reshaped family planning decisions among Venezuelan women. With fertility now at replacement level and continuing its downward trajectory, Venezuela faces potential population stagnation in coming decades unless demographic patterns shift.
