How many babies are born in Fiji?

16.3 thousand babies born in Fiji in 2026. That is 0.01% of all births worldwide, and the 157th 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 Fiji among estimates through 2023 were in 1984, at about 23.6K. That is roughly 55 times the estimated ~431 births a year in 1 CE.

At 2.23 children per woman, fertility in Fiji is above the level of about 2.1 that would hold a population steady over the long run without migration.

How many babies are born in Fiji each year?

An estimated 16.3 thousand babies are born in Fiji in 2026, according to the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium projection. That is about 45 a day and 0.01% of all births worldwide.

What is the birth rate in Fiji?

Fiji has an estimated 17.4 births per 1,000 people in 2026, and a total fertility rate of 2.23 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.
