Based on data from the United Nations World Population Prospects (2024), an estimated 58,491 people are born in New Zealand each year. That works out to roughly 160 births per day, 6 per hour, or approximately one person every 539.16 seconds. The counter above tracks the estimated number of births that have occurred so far today.
The crude birth rate in New Zealand is approximately 11.1 births per 1,000 people , which is below the global average of 16.1 per 1,000. The total fertility rate stands at 1.65 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of New Zealand would decline over the long term without net immigration.
In addition to births, approximately 39,241 deaths occur in New Zealand each year, resulting in a natural increase of approximately 19,250 people per year.
