Crude birth rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CBRT.IN
Indonesia's birth rate was 15.5 in 2025, ranked 95th globally. This represents a 3.0% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Indonesia's birth rate stood at 15.5 in 2025, a decline of +0.5 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 15.5 by 2025. Indonesia ranked 95th globally.
Indonesia's birth rate has exhibited a significant decline since its peak in 1960, when it reached 44.39 births per 1,000 people. This trend is consistent with many developing countries, including India, which shares a similar birth rate of 15.48 births per 1,000 people. In contrast, Indonesia's birth rate has decreased to 15.47 births per 1,000 people in 2025, marking the lowest level in the country's history. This reduction is a notable achievement, given the global average birth rate has also declined. The shift from a high to a low birth rate is a significant demographic transition, often associated with increased economic development and urbanization. However, a continued decline in the birth rate may lead to aging population concerns, potentially affecting Indonesia's labor force and social security systems. If Indonesia's birth rate continues to trend downward, the country may need to reassess its population growth strategies to mitigate the potential consequences.
