Germany recorded around 654,000 births in 2025, the lowest number since 1946, while the fertility rate fell to 1.32 children per woman, its lowest level since 1997. The report attributes this to economic and social crises since 2021, rising rents and inflation, fears of war and job insecurity, as well as some people choosing to remain child-free and rising expectations around parenthood. The decline is expected to continue. By 2035, the number of women aged 25 to 39 is projected to be 10.2% lower than in 2025, putting further pressure on pension, healthcare and eldercare systems. Experts are calling for better childcare services, the preservation of family benefits and measures to make it easier to have children—especially a third child or more.
