Crude birth rate of Albania 1865-2020
Crude birth rate in Albania in 1865 was 47 births per thousand people. The rate increased slightly by 1880, where it reached its highest recorded number of 49 births per thousand people, which means that roughly five percent of the entire population had been born in that year. From 1880 until 1950, Albania's birth rate decreased gradually to 24 births per thousand women, before rising again to 41 births per thousand people over the next ten years. This was during the global baby boom that followed the Second World War. Since the baby boom, the birth rate decreased to 12 births per thousand in 2010 (with some noticeable deviation around 1990, with the fall of communism), and since 2010 it has plateaued around 12 births per thousand people, meaning that approximately one percent of all Albanians were born in the past year.
