In 2026, Spain's total fertility rate is 1.24 children per woman, below the 2.1 replacement level. Over the preceding five years it has risen by 0.05 children per woman. About 327K babies are born a year, a crude birth rate of 6.8 per 1,000. Its net reproduction rate sits at 0.60, just under the 1.0 that marks generational replacement. Women are having children later in life, at a mean age of 32.5 years, up from 28.2 in 1980. By 2100, projections put it at 1.48 children per woman.
