Based on data from the United Nations World Population Prospects (2024), an estimated 1,782,788 people are born in Western Europe each year. That works out to roughly 4,884 births per day, 203 per hour, or approximately one person every 17.69 seconds. The counter above tracks the estimated number of births that have occurred so far today.
The crude birth rate in Western Europe is approximately 8.9 births per 1,000 people , which is below the global average of 16.1 per 1,000. The total fertility rate stands at 1.50 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of Western Europe would decline over the long term without net immigration.
In addition to births, approximately 2,128,189 deaths occur in Western Europe each year, resulting in a natural decrease of approximately 345,401 people per year.
