The crude birth rate of Bosnia and Herzegovina has generally been in decline for the past 170 years. In 1850, there were approximately 41 births per thousand people, which meant that just over four percent of the population had been born in that year. The number then dropped to around 36 births per thousand until the 1940s (the steady decline from 1865 to 1945 suggests that these figures are averages for the entire period), until there was a slight baby boom in the aftermath of the Second World War, which peaked at 38 births per thousand in 1955. Following this boom, the fertility rate of Bosnia and Herzegovina then dropped at a much higher rate, falling to 9.5 births per thousand in 2005, and it has fallen to just eight births per thousand in 2020, which means that 0.8 percent of the population will be born this year. The reasons for this rapid decrease in birth rate was mostly due to reduced infant and child mortality, and improvements and increased access to healthcare, contraceptives and education, among other things.
