Crude birth rate of Denmark 1800-2020
In Denmark, the crude birth rate in 1800 was 29.9 live births per thousand people, meaning that approximately three percent of the population had been born in that year. Over the next century, the crude birth rate generally fluctuated between 29 and 33, before dropping consistently in the first few decades of the 1900s. Between 1935 and 1965, the decline stopped, and Denmark's crude birth rate increased from 17.2 in 1935 to 20.9 by 1950, and the decline did not continue until the late 1960s. Between 1965 and 1985, the crude birth rate dropped from 17.3 to 10.4 births per thousand people, which is the lowest recorded number in Denmark's history. It did increase over the next two decades, however it then dropped again in the last decade, and is expected to be 10.7 in 2020.
