Overview
Comoros's fertility rate stood at 3.74 in 2025, a decline of +0.14 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 3.74 by 2025. Comoros ranked 30th globally.
Comoros’ total fertility rate has fallen sharply over the 65‑year series, declining from 6.79 in 1960 to a trough of 3.74 in 2025, the lowest point recorded and the 30th‑lowest globally. The peak of 7.17 occurred in 1973, after which the rate entered a sustained downward trajectory that accelerated in the 1990s and early 2000s as health and education improvements expanded. By 2025 the fertility level matches that of Zimbabwe (3.74) and lies just below Liberia’s 3.79, reflecting a convergence with other sub‑Saharan nations that have experienced similar demographic transitions. The persistent decline suggests that continued investments in female schooling, family planning services, and economic diversification could further reduce fertility, potentially bringing the rate into the low‑fertility range observed in many middle‑income economies.
