Egypt's average children per woman drops to 2.33
The Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics in Egypt reported a decline in the fertility rate to an average of 2.33 children per woman in 2023, compared to 2.85 in 2021, representing an 18.2% decrease. Additionally, the rate of teenage pregnancies among girls under 20 dropped to 34.6 births per thousand women, a 31% decrease from 2021. Recently, there has been an increase in the use of long-acting family planning methods, such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptive implants. The percentage of women interested in using family planning methods before their first pregnancy also rose to 28%, alongside improvements in maternal and childbirth care, with 96% of deliveries occurring in healthcare facilities. These data indicate that the family planning strategy has successfully increased awareness and shifted attitudes among young people, supporting the achievement of population goals.
