Is Egypt facing a demographic change
The article discusses the decline in fertility rates in Egypt, from approximately 2.85 children per woman in 2021 to 2.33 in 2025, representing a decrease of 18.2%. This trend is attributed to developmental and economic factors, such as improvements in education and healthcare, women’s empowerment, cultural shifts, as well as economic pressures that have led to more deliberate family planning and a reduction in the number of children due to rising living costs and financial hardships. Government reports indicate that this decline contributes to easing pressures on service budgets and the economy. It is considered a significant step toward achieving the national target of reaching an average of 2.1 children per woman by 2027, with a focus on enhancing family life and providing economic and social opportunities.
