5 Most Fertile Countries in the World Heading into 2024

In this article we are going to list the 5 most fertile countries in the world heading into 2024. For a detailed coverage of this topic and a more comprehensive list please take a look at the 30 most fertile countries in the world heading into 2024.

5. Mali

Average Birth rate per woman: 6.00

Mali’s fertility rate has only declined slightly in the last few decades, which is why it’s among the most fertile countries in the world right now.

4. Democratic Republic of Congo

Average Birth rate per woman: 6.18

DRC is among the poorest countries in the world, which means that a high fertility rate is simply adding more pressure on an economy whose growth rate isn’t anywhere near its population growth rate, and could exacerbate hunger in the country.

3. Chad

Average Birth rate per woman: 6.30

Chad is one of the most fertile countries in the world heading into 2024, which combined with high maternal deaths during births has made it additionally dangerous for women.

2. Somalia

Average Birth rate per woman: 6.36

Somalia has been plagued with several crisis in the last few decades but its long-term demographic issues are continuing unabated due to its high fertility rate, which has only declined 12% since the 1970s.

1. Niger

Average Birth rate per woman: 6.86

Topping the list of the 30 most fertile countries in the world heading into 2024 is Niger, the fastest growing country in Africa and if birth control policies aren’t successfully implemented, the country will have to figure out how to feed 25 million more people in the last three decades.
