Estimated annual births in Armenia, 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 Armenia'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 Armenia are at their highest in the whole run of estimates in 1985, at about 88K. That is roughly 18 times the estimated ~1.83K births a year in 1 CE.

At 1.71 children per woman, fertility in Armenia 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.
