Officials Revealed The Birth Rate In Belarus

The numbers are shocking.

On October 16, the "Unified Day of Informing" was held in Belarus. According to Smaliavichy district newspaper "Krai Smaliavitski", during this event Anastasia Bobrova, candidate of economic sciences, associate professor, director of the Center for Human Development and Demography of the Institute of Economics of the Academy of Sciences, said that "low birth rate is one of the most acute issues in the country.

The total coefficient in the country is 1.1, while in Minsk it is only 0.6. This is lower than in countries with a similar level of urbanization: for example, in the UK - 1.4. Paradox: young people are actively moving to the capital, housing is being built, but it does not lead to an increase in fertility," said the scientist.

The coefficient of 1.1 means that Belarus belongs to the group of countries with the lowest birth rate in the world.

As the site Charter97.org wrote, Belarus has huge divorce rate. In 2024, 46,242 thousand marriages were registered in Belarus, a quarter less than in 2019. At the same time, the number of divorces even increased by 1%, - 34.866 thousand.
