Births in Azerbaijan: history and projections

Annual births, logarithmic scale. Shading marks modelled years before 1800; the dashed line marks UN projections from 2024.

Every figure refers to the area inside Azerbaijan’s present-day borders. Before 1800 the state did not exist in its current form. See how borders are handled.

What the numbers show

The highest annual births in Azerbaijan among estimates through 2023 were in 1988, at about 214K. That is roughly 55 times the estimated ~3.92K births a year in 1 CE.

At 1.66 children per woman, fertility in Azerbaijan is below the level of about 2.1 that would hold a population steady over the long run without migration.

How many babies are born in Azerbaijan each year?

An estimated 120 thousand babies are born in Azerbaijan in 2026, according to the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium projection. That is about 327 a day and 0.09% of all births worldwide.

What is the birth rate in Azerbaijan?

Azerbaijan has an estimated 11.4 births per 1,000 people in 2026, and a total fertility rate of 1.66 children per woman.

Where these numbers come from

2026 figures are the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium scenario. UN estimates cover 1950–2023; projections cover 2024–2100. Earlier years come from 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.
