tert.am The birth rates in Armenia continue to decline. In 2025, there were 32,042 births registered in the republic, compared to 33,593 in 2024 and 36,590 in 2023. This was reported by Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Arsen Torosyan during a meeting of the public council attached to the ministry.
According to the minister, the fertility rate is also decreasing, which is the average number of children born per woman of reproductive age.
«The decline in birth rates continues. The fertility rate is also decreasing, meaning the number of children born per woman of reproductive age. There are factors, such as the age of marriage, that the state cannot directly change, but if the fertility rate decreases further, it will be a serious problem for any country,» said Torosyan.
Torosyan emphasized that to overcome the current situation, it is necessary to change public thinking and encourage an increase in birth rates through state support programs.
«We need to try to change this situation through a change in mindset and state programs,» he stated.
