Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's birth rate stood at 23.1 in 2025, a rise of +1.0 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 23.1 by 2025. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 56th globally.
Syrian Arab Republic’s birth rate has fallen dramatically from its all‑time peak of 47.38 in 1960 to a trough of 18.93 in 2018, before rising modestly to 23.12 in 2025, placing the country 56th globally. The 65‑year span reflects a long‑term demographic transition driven by urbanisation, increased female education, and the protracted conflict that curtailed fertility during the 2010s. The 2025 figure is closely aligned with peer nations such as Eswatini (23.22) and Tonga (22.79), indicating that Syria now shares a similar reproductive profile with countries at comparable stages of development. While the recent uptick suggests a partial reversal of the post‑conflict fertility decline, continued improvements in health services, stability, and economic opportunities will be needed to sustain any upward momentum and prevent a return to lower birth‑rate levels.
