Record few newborns in 2022 – Latest news – news


7 March 2023 at 08:01 Record few newborns in 2022 Total fertility rate (TFR) was measured at 1.41 children per woman in 2022. This is a sharp decrease from 1.55 the year before, and the lowest that has ever been measured in Norway. SFT says something about birth rates here and now. Another way of examining fertility is to look at how many children different age cohorts have actually had. Of the women who turned 30 in 2022, i.e. the 1992 cohort, 54 per cent had not had children. Ten years ago, the corresponding share was 42 percent. Among those who turned 35 in 2022, 26 per cent had not had children. Ten years ago, the proportion was 21 per cent.
