Crude birth rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CBRT.IN
Angola's birth rate was 36.6 in 2025, ranked 8th globally. This represents a 2.5% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Angola's birth rate stood at 36.6 in 2025, a decline of +1.0 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 36.6 by 2025. Angola ranked 8th globally.
Angola’s birth rate has fallen sharply over the 65‑year series, descending from an early‑period level of 51.62 in 1960 to a historic low of 36.63 in 2025, the eighth‑lowest figure worldwide. The all‑time peak of 52.41 in 1965 marks the apex of a long‑term demographic transition that accelerated after the end of the civil war and the expansion of family‑planning services in the 2000s. By contrast, Mozambique, the nearest peer in the 2025 ranking, posted a slightly higher rate of 36.74, while Yemen and Afghanistan remained below 35 births per 1,000 people. The sustained decline reflects urbanisation, rising female education, and greater access to contraception, yet the rate remains above the sub‑Saharan average, indicating scope for further reduction. Continued investment in reproductive health and socioeconomic development is likely to keep the birth rate on a downward trajectory, potentially moving Angola into the top ten lowest‑birth‑rate nations within the next decade.
