Monaco Fertility Rate
Total fertility rate SP.DYN.TFRT.IN
Monaco's fertility rate was 1.89 in 2025, ranked 106th globally. This represents a 10.7% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Monaco's fertility rate stood at 1.89 in 2025, a decline of +0.23 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.89 by 2025. Monaco ranked 106th globally.
Monaco’s fertility rate has fallen from an all‑time peak of 2.81 in 1960 to a trough of 1.75 in 1993, before modestly rising to 1.89 in 2025, placing the principality at rank 106 globally. The 65‑year series shows a long‑term decline that mirrors the demographic transition typical of highly urbanised micro‑states, where limited residential space and high living costs discourage larger families. The 2025 figure coincides with the rate of India (1.89) and is only marginally above Gibraltar’s 1.88, indicating that Monaco now aligns with other small economies that have moved past the replacement threshold of 2.1. The recent uptick suggests a slight shift, possibly driven by policy incentives for child‑bearing or an influx of younger expatriates, yet the rate remains below replacement. Continued efforts to improve work‑life balance and affordable housing will be crucial if Monaco aims to sustain or further increase its fertility trajectory.
