Overview
Micronesia, Federated States of's birth rate stood at 22.1 in 2025, a decline of +0.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 22.1 by 2025. Micronesia, Federated States of ranked 60th globally.
Micronesia’s birth rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year span covered by World Bank data, slipping from an all‑time peak of 44.28 births per 1,000 people in 1960 to a trough of 22.07 in 2025, placing the nation 60th globally. This halving reflects a broader demographic transition common to many Pacific island states, where improvements in female education, increased access to contraception, and rising urbanisation have reduced fertility. The 2025 figure is closely aligned with those of peers such as Tuvalu (22.55) and Lesotho (22.73), suggesting that Micronesia now shares a similar reproductive profile with other small, developing economies that have moved beyond the high‑fertility stage. Continued declines are likely if current trends in health service expansion and economic diversification persist, although a resurgence could occur should policy shifts encourage larger families to counteract ageing and labour‑force shortages.
