Crude birth rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CBRT.IN
Mongolia's birth rate was 15.7 in 2025, ranked 92nd globally. This represents a 17.4% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Mongolia's birth rate stood at 15.7 in 2025, a decline of +3.3 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 15.7 by 2025. Mongolia ranked 92nd globally.
Mongolia’s birth rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year series, sliding from an all‑time peak of 44.18 births per 1,000 people in 1961 to a trough of 15.70 in 2025, the lowest level recorded and the 92nd lowest globally. The decline reflects sustained urbanisation, rising female education and labour‑force participation, and the diffusion of modern contraceptives, mirroring patterns observed in peer economies such as Peru (15.50) and Morocco (15.89). While the 1960s birth rate of 44.13 already signalled a high‑fertility regime, the post‑1990s transition to a market economy accelerated demographic transition, compressing family size and lengthening intervals between births. The World Bank’s 2025 figure of 15.70 underscores the completion of this shift, yet modest fluctuations remain possible if economic growth spurs renewed confidence in child‑rearing or if policy incentives for larger families are introduced, which could temper the downward trajectory.
