Chart Details
Timeframe: 1990-2022
Country: Portugal
Published date: 2024
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
Portugal's fertility rate remained relatively low, starting at 1.6 in 1990 and fluctuating slightly before stabilizing at 1.4 after 2010. The early 1990s marked gradual declines, reflecting economic modernization and shifts in gender roles, with more women prioritizing careers over traditional family structures.

Efforts to reverse these trends through financial incentives and parental leave policies have seen limited success. The persistent low rates highlight structural challenges, including economic pressures and housing costs that deter larger families.
