Slovenia Fertility Rate
Total fertility rate SP.DYN.TFRT.IN
Slovenia's fertility rate was 1.48 in 2025, ranked 150th globally. This represents a 1.7% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Slovenia's fertility rate stood at 1.48 in 2025, a decline of +0.03 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.48 by 2025. Slovenia ranked 150th globally.
Slovenia's fertility rate has experienced a significant decline over the past six and a half decades, from an all-time peak of 2.46 in 1966 to a low of 1.20 in 2003. This decline has been a global trend, as seen in countries such as the Slovak Republic, where the fertility rate has also decreased to a comparable level of 1.50. As of 2025, Slovenia's fertility rate stands at 1.48, ranking it globally at number 150. The most recent data indicate that the decline has slowed, but the rate remains below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman. A continued low fertility rate could have implications for Slovenia's labor market and pension system in the long term. A reversal in this trend could be triggered by changes in family-friendly policies, education, or economic conditions, which would likely require concerted efforts from policymakers to promote a more favorable demographic environment.
