Total fertility rate SP.DYN.TFRT.IN

Overview
Indonesia's fertility rate stood at 2.09 in 2025, a decline of +0.04 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2.09 by 2025. Indonesia ranked 94th globally.
Indonesia's fertility rate, 2.09 children per woman as of 2025, ranks 94th globally according to the World Bank. This rate is significantly lower than the all-time peak of 5.59 children per woman recorded in 1966, a reflection of the country's rapid demographic transition over the past six decades. Since then, Indonesia's fertility rate has declined steadily, with a notable trough of 2.09 children per woman achieved in 2025, indicating a convergence with some of its Southeast Asian peers, such as Myanmar, which shares a similar fertility rate of 2.07 children per woman. This trend is consistent with the broader regional experience, where declining fertility rates are driven by improvements in education, urbanization, and access to family planning services. A continued decline in fertility rates is likely to be driven by further urbanization and improvements in women's education and economic opportunities, which may in turn lead to a shift towards a more aged population with potential implications for the country's pension and healthcare systems.
