NewzThe Center for Central American Population at the University of Costa Rica projects that the fertility rate in Costa Rica will decline to 1.12 children per woman by 2026. This figure represents a downward revision from the previously estimated 1.20 children per woman. The projection follows recent data from the Civil Registry, which recorded 48,000 births in the country.
This trend reflects a continued shift in national demographic patterns. The updated forecast highlights an accelerated decline in birth rates, positioning the country further below the replacement level required for population stability.
