Albania Fertility Rate
Total fertility rate SP.DYN.TFRT.IN
Albania's fertility rate was 1.32 in 2025, ranked 183rd globally. This represents a 1.9% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Albania's fertility rate stood at 1.32 in 2025, a decline of +0.03 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.32 by 2025. Albania ranked 183rd globally.
Albania's fertility rate has undergone significant changes over the past 65 years, with the all-time peak of 6.38 in 1960 starkly contrasting the latest value of 1.32 in 2025. This downward trend is not unique to Albania, as neighboring countries such as Greece also have a fertility rate of 1.32, highlighting a broader regional pattern. In comparison to other peer countries, Albania's fertility rate is marginally higher than Uruguay's 1.31, but lower than Mauritius and Türkiye, which both have a rate of 1.34. The fertility rate has been consistently declining, reaching its all-time trough in 2025, which raises concerns about the country's future demographic structure. As Albania looks to the future, a reversal of this trend would likely require significant changes in family planning policies and social support systems to encourage higher birth rates.
