Estimated annual births in Albania, 0 CE to 2026, on a logarithmic scale. The shaded band on the left marks the years where births are modelled rather than recorded. The marker sits on 2026.
Every figure refers to the area inside Albania's present-day borders. Before 1800 the state did not exist in its current form — see how borders are handled.

What the numbers show

Annual births in Albania are at their highest in the whole run of estimates in 1990, at about 85.5K. That is roughly 3.4 times the estimated ~7.94K births a year in 1 CE.

At 1.32 children per woman, fertility in Albania is below the level of about 2.1 that would hold a population steady over the long run without migration.

Where these numbers come from

2026 figures are the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium variant. Earlier years come from the UN's estimates (1950 onward), Gapminder's reconstructions (1800–1949) and a model applied to HYDE population estimates (before 1800). The full chain is set out in the methodology, and every source is listed on the sources page.
