The birth rate in Ukraine decreased by 38.4% compared to 2021 before the war. In 2025, 168,778 births were registered in Israel. This is 38.4%, or almost 105 thousand, less than in 2021, when 273,772 children were born. The decline in fertility continued every year after the outbreak of a full-scale war: - 2021 – 273,772 births.
- 2022 – 206,032.
- 2023 – 187,387.
- 2024 – 176,679.
- 2025 – 168,778. In the first six months of 2026, 73,292 births were registered in Ukraine. This is about 45% less than in the corresponding period in 2021. The causes of the decrease in the birth rate include war, mass migration of women abroad and the decision of many families to postpone having children. Over the next ten years, the demographic decline could have a significant impact on Ukraine's labor market, the economy, and the country's post-war reconstruction opportunities.
