New Zealand birthrate sinks to its lowest ever

New Zealand birthrate sinks to its lowest ever Eleanor de Jong in Queenstown New Zealand’s birthrate dropped to its lowest ever level in 2020, well below the population replacement rate of 2.1. According to Statistics New Zealand, the country’s total fertility rate dropped to 1.61 births per woman of child-bearing age (15–49 years), the latest fall in a decade-old trend. Most babies registered in 2020 were conceived before New Zealand moved to Covid-19 lockdown on 25 March last year, said Hamish Slack at Statistics NZ. “Fertility rates in New Zealand were relatively stable between 1980 and 2012, but have generally decreased since then,” said Slack. “Since 2013, the number of women of reproductive age has increased by 11% and the number of births has decreased by 2%.”
