Guinea Fertility Rate
Total fertility rate SP.DYN.TFRT.IN
Guinea's fertility rate was 4.04 in 2025, ranked 22nd globally. This represents a 4.3% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Guinea's fertility rate stood at 4.04 in 2025, a decline of +0.18 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 4.04 by 2025. Guinea ranked 22nd globally.
Guinea’s total fertility rate has fallen sharply over the 65‑year series, sliding from 6.11 in 1960 to an all‑time trough of 4.04 in 2025, which also ranks the country 22nd globally. The peak of 6.57 recorded in 1987 marks the highest point of the series before a sustained decline began in the late 1980s, reflecting expanding access to family‑planning services and rising female schooling. The 2025 figure of 4.04 is virtually identical to the rates observed in peer countries such as Uganda (4.05) and the Republic of Congo (4.05), suggesting that Guinea is now converging with regional averages in sub‑Saharan Africa. While the downward trajectory has persisted for three decades, further reductions will likely depend on continued investment in reproductive health, urbanisation and improvements in women’s labour‑force participation, which could push the fertility rate below four births per woman in the coming years.
