Grenada Birth Rate
Crude birth rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CBRT.IN
Grenada's birth rate was 11.4 in 2025, ranked 123rd globally. This represents a 3.0% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Grenada's birth rate stood at 11.4 in 2025, a decline of +0.4 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 11.4 by 2025. Grenada ranked 123rd globally.
Grenada’s birth rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year span covered by World Bank data, declining from an all‑time peak of 48.76 births per 1,000 people in 1960 to a trough of 11.36 in 2025, placing the country 123rd globally. This steep reduction reflects the combined impact of higher female education, expanded access to contraception and the demographic transition typical of many small island economies. The 2025 figure is closely aligned with those of peer nations such as Jamaica (11.42) and Seychelles (11.22), underscoring a regional convergence toward low fertility levels. While the downward trajectory has contributed to slower population growth and an aging demographic, continued improvements in health services and sustained economic development could moderate the decline, potentially stabilising the birth rate at a low but steady level in the coming decades.
