Key Takeaways
Saudi Arabia's fertility rate declined from 5.8 in 1990 to 2.4 in 2022, driven by significant economic and social transformations. The 1990s and early 2000s saw sharp decreases as modern healthcare, urbanization, and women's educational opportunities expanded.

The rate stabilized at around 2.5 after 2015, reflecting the kingdom's efforts to balance modernization with traditional family values. However, long-term demographic policies remain critical to managing population dynamics amid ongoing reforms.
