Overview
Solomon Islands's birth rate stood at 26.2 in 2025, a decline of +0.7 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 26.2 by 2025. Solomon Islands ranked 44th globally.
The Solomon Islands have experienced a significant decline in birth rates over the past six and a half decades, with the rate dropping from 46.77 in 1960 to 26.20 in 2025, a decrease of 44.57%. This trend mirrors that of its peer countries, such as Gabon, where the birth rate is marginally higher at 26.44. The Solomon Islands' birth rate has been steadily decreasing since its peak in 1960, and it is now among the lower birth rates globally, ranking 44th. The decline is likely attributed to improvements in education, family planning, and healthcare, contributing to a reduction in fertility rates. The current birth rate of 26.20 suggests a relatively low population growth rate, which may have implications for the country's labor force and economic development. A further decline in birth rates could be influenced by increased access to education and family planning resources, which could potentially lead to a stabilization of the population growth.
