Crude birth rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CBRT.IN
Cyprus's birth rate was 10.8 in 2025, ranked 134th globally. This represents a 0.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Cyprus's birth rate stood at 10.8 in 2025, a rise of +0.0 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 10.8 by 2025. Cyprus ranked 134th globally.
Cyprus’ birth rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year series, dropping from an all‑time peak of 26.27 births per 1,000 people in 1961 to a trough of 10.80 in 2023, and reaching 10.84 in 2025, which places the island at rank 134 globally. The steep decline mirrors broader demographic transitions in advanced economies, where fertility rates have slipped below replacement levels as female labor participation and urbanisation have risen. By contrast, peer small‑state economies such as the Bahamas (10.68) and Iceland (10.68) record similarly low rates, suggesting that Cyprus is part of a regional pattern of persistently low fertility. The sustained proximity of the 2025 figure to the 2023 trough indicates that the downward trajectory has largely stabilised, but any policy shifts that improve work‑life balance or expand child‑care support could modestly raise the rate and alter the long‑term demographic outlook.
