Overview
Gibraltar's birth rate stood at 12.1 in 2025, a rise of +0.0 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 12.1 by 2025. Gibraltar ranked 114th globally.
Gibraltar’s birth rate has fallen sharply since the mid‑1960s, declining from an all‑time peak of 27.31 births per 1,000 people in 1964 to a historic low of 10.78 in 2003, before modestly rising to 12.10 in 2025, which places the territory at rank 114 globally. The 65‑year coverage shows a sustained demographic transition, mirroring patterns observed in other small jurisdictions such as Antigua and Barbuda (12.14 in 2025) and Iran (11.92). The early‑stage high fertility of the 1960s gave way to reduced family size as education, health services, and economic diversification expanded, while the trough in 2003 coincided with the aftermath of a prolonged recession and emigration of younger cohorts. The slight rebound to 12.10 suggests a stabilization, but future shifts in housing affordability, labor market demand, and immigration policy will be decisive in determining whether Gibraltar’s birth rate resumes an upward trajectory or continues its gradual decline.
