Based on data from the United Nations World Population Prospects (2024), an estimated 5,604,510 people are born in South America each year. That works out to roughly 15,355 births per day, 639 per hour, or approximately one person every 5.63 seconds. The counter above tracks the estimated number of births that have occurred so far today.
The crude birth rate in South America is approximately 12.8 births per 1,000 people , which is below the global average of 16.1 per 1,000. The total fertility rate stands at 1.69 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of South America would decline over the long term without net immigration.
In addition to births, approximately 3,009,247 deaths occur in South America each year, resulting in a natural increase of approximately 2,595,263 people per year.
