The crude birth rate in Gambia decreased by 0.6 live births per 1,000 inhabitants (-1.8 percent) compared to the previous year. In 2022, the rate thereby reached its lowest value in recent years. The crude birth rate is the annual number of live births divided by the total population, expressed per 1,000 people.
The crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.
