Timeframe: 1990-2022

Key Takeaways
Cameroon’s fertility rate dropped from 6.4 in 1990 to 4.4 in 2022, reflecting gradual social and economic changes. In the 1990s, rates declined moderately, reaching 5.8 by 2000 due to increased awareness of family planning and urban migration.

During the 2000s and 2010s, the rate continued its downward trajectory, stabilizing around 4.8 by 2017. Improved education, healthcare access, and shifts in cultural attitudes contributed to this trend. The slight decline to 4.4 in 2022 highlights ongoing progress, although challenges in rural areas still affect the pace of fertility reduction.
