If 2026 rates held for a lifetime, a woman in Gibraltar would have about 1.88 children, below the 2.1 needed to sustain the population. Over the preceding five years it has held broadly steady. About 502 babies are born a year, a crude birth rate of 12.3 per 1,000. Its net reproduction rate sits at 0.90, just under the 1.0 that marks generational replacement. Women are having children later in life, at a mean age of 30.5 years, up from 27.0 in 1980. By 2100, projections see it reaching 1.74 children per woman.
