Total fertility rate SP.DYN.TFRT.IN

Overview
Lithuania's fertility rate stood at 1.08 in 2025, a decline of +0.10 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.08 by 2025. Lithuania ranked 204th globally.
Lithuania’s fertility rate has fallen sharply from its 1960 peak of 2.56 to a 2025 level of 1.08, placing the country at rank 204 globally and tying it with Spain at the same figure while edging slightly above Poland’s 1.06. The 65‑year decline reflects a transition common to many post‑Soviet economies, where urbanisation, increased female labour participation and delayed family formation have reduced births per woman. The 2025 trough of 1.08 is among the lowest in Europe, mirroring trends in the British Virgin Islands (1.10) and Andorra (1.10), and underscores the demographic challenge of sustaining population growth without substantial immigration or policy shifts. If pro‑family measures such as enhanced childcare support, parental leave incentives and immigration reforms are implemented, the downward trajectory could stabilise; otherwise the fertility rate is likely to remain below replacement level in the near future.
