What this site is for — and what it is not.
birthrate.io is an independent presentation layer over public demographic and economic statistics. Charts, maps, rankings, and briefings are for research, journalism, teaching, and general understanding. Nothing on the site is legal, medical, financial, investment, or policy advice, and nothing here should be treated as an official government publication.
Underlying figures belong to the World Bank, UN agencies, OECD, Eurostat, national statistical offices, and other named providers listed on each page and on sources. If a chart and the original release disagree, trust the original release and tell us. Licences and reuse terms of those providers still apply.
UN World Population Prospects variants, national projections, and provisional nowcasts are scenarios or early estimates. They are not guarantees of future population, fertility, or migration. Method notes live in methodology.
Fertility, migration, and group differences are politically contested. The site presents official categories with their definitions and does not argue for a policy outcome. Background: about.
We work to keep figures current and correctly labelled, but errors and lag against the source are possible. Use of the site is at your own risk. Formal terms: terms of use.
