In Finland, the crude birth rate in 1800 was approximately 35 live births per thousand people, meaning that 3.5 percent of the population had been born in that year. In the nineteenth century, Finland's crude birth rate generally fluctuated between 31 and 36 births per thousand people, before it gradually began to decline throughout the twentieth century. The sharpest decrease came between 1910 and 1935, where the crude birth rate dropped from 33.6 to 19, before Finland experienced a baby boom after the Second World War. After the baby boom, the crude birth rate dropped sharply, similar to how it did in the decades before the war, and it was below thirteen births per thousand in1975. The rate of decline slowed after this point, and there were some periods of slight increase, although Finland's crude birth rate is expected to fall below ten, for the first time ever, in 2020.
