About This Dataset

Countries with the Highest Birth Rate 2024

Countries ranked by crude birth rate — the number of live births per 1,000 population — in 2024. Sub-Saharan African nations consistently record the world's highest birth rates, with Niger having the highest total fertility rate of any country. By contrast, South Korea and several other East Asian nations record the world's lowest birth rates.

Analysis

The top three in Birth Rate (per 1,000) in 2024 are Niger (46.8), Mali (42.3) and Chad (41.2). The 8 entries in Birth Rate (per 1,000) cover a range of 9.30, from 46.8 down to 37.5. First and second are separated by 4.50, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. The other 6 are bunched between 37.5 and 41.2 Birth Rate (per 1,000).
