Annual population growth rate SP.POP.GROW

Overview
Armenia's population growth stood at 1.82% in 2025, a decline of +0.49pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.82% by 2025. Armenia ranked 64th globally.
Armenia’s population growth has slowed markedly since the post‑Soviet era, registering a 1.82 % increase in 2025, which places the country 64th globally and just below peers such as Tajikistan (1.84 %) and Ghana (1.85 %). The 65‑year series shows the highest annual rise of 3.37 % in 1978, a period of robust natural increase under Soviet demographic policies, while the deepest decline occurred in 1993 with a –3.37 % contraction as the nation grappled with economic hardship, emigration, and the aftermath of the Nagorno‑Karabakh conflict. Since the early 1990s the growth rate has hovered between the low‑single digits and modest positive territory, reflecting a transition from high fertility to lower birth rates and sustained out‑migration. The latest figure suggests a modest rebound, but without policies that improve labor‑market opportunities and curb emigration, the upward trajectory may remain limited, keeping Armenia’s growth near the lower end of its regional peers.
