Note: The fertility rate, as defined by World Development Indicators, measures the average number of children born to a woman over her lifetime, usually expressed as births per woman.
Key Takeaways
Gambia's fertility rate declined steadily from 6.2 children per woman in 1990 to 4.6 in 2022. The drop was more pronounced after 2005, with rates decreasing from 5.7 to 4.8 by 2020. Improvements in healthcare, female education, and urban living conditions contributed significantly to this trend.

By 2022, the rate had reached 4.6, reflecting ongoing modernization efforts. However, traditional family structures and rural areas still maintain relatively high fertility rates compared to other African countries.
