How many babies are born in Belarus?

61.3 thousand babies born in Belarus in 2026. That is 0.05% of all births worldwide, and the 122nd largest of any country. UN projection

2024–2100 uses the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium scenario, based on assumptions about fertility, mortality and migration. These are projections, not observed births or guaranteed outcomes. Uncertainty increases further into the future; this site does not display prediction intervals.

What the numbers show

The highest annual births in Belarus among estimates through 2023 were in 1926, at about ~232K. That is roughly 59 times the estimated ~3.96K births a year in 1 CE.

At 1.23 children per woman, fertility in Belarus 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 Belarus each year?

What is the birth rate in Belarus?

Belarus has an estimated 6.9 births per 1,000 people in 2026, and a total fertility rate of 1.23 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.
