Angola's fertility rate has been declining over the years, with the latest value in 2025 standing at 4.97, ranking seventh globally. This is a significant decrease from its all-time peak of 7.50 in 1974. In comparison to its peer countries, Angola's fertility rate is higher than that of Burundi, which has a rate of 4.68, but lower than Mali's 5.48. The country's fertility rate has been steadily decreasing, with 2025 marking its all-time trough of 4.97. This downward trend is consistent with global patterns, as many countries experience declining fertility rates as they develop economically. As Angola continues to urbanize and improve access to education and healthcare, its fertility rate is likely to continue declining, potentially approaching the rates of its peer countries, unless significant changes in population policies or social norms alter the trajectory of this trend.
