How many babies are born in Tunisia?

157 thousand babies born in Tunisia in 2026. That is 0.12% of all births worldwide, and the 94th 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 Tunisia among estimates through 2023 were in 1986, at about 237K. That is roughly 7.2 times the estimated ~33K births a year in 1 CE.

At 1.79 children per woman, fertility in Tunisia 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 Tunisia each year?

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.
