Deputy Prime Minister Natallia Piatkevich expects that an increase in birth rates may occur by 2030. She stated this while speaking at the National Assembly.
According to BelTA, Piatkevich said a surge in births can be expected when a more numerous generation begins to enter parenthood.
According to Belstat, the previous rise in birth rates in the country was observed from 2007, when more than 100,000 people were born annually, and in 2012–2016 more than 110,000 children were born each year. Birth rates then began to decline. In 2019, the figure fell below 90,000, and by 2024 it dropped to under 60,000 births per year.
Piatkevich also noted that Belarus is experiencing population ageing, a decline in the intensity of first and second births, and changes in the age model of fertility. The phenomenon of so-called delayed motherhood is already being discussed.
