About births in Europe

Based on data from the United Nations World Population Prospects (2024), an estimated 6,207,369 people are born in Europe each year. That works out to roughly 17,006 births per day, 708 per hour, or approximately one person every 5.08 seconds. The counter above tracks the estimated number of births that have occurred so far today.

The crude birth rate in Europe is approximately 8.3 births per 1,000 people , which is below the global average of 16.1 per 1,000. The total fertility rate stands at 1.41 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of Europe would decline over the long term without net immigration.

In addition to births, approximately 8,462,554 deaths occur in Europe each year, resulting in a natural decrease of approximately 2,255,185 people per year.
