The crude birth rate in North Korea decreased to 12.95 live births per 1,000 inhabitants compared to the previous year. In 2023, the rate thereby reached its lowest value in recent years. The crude birth rate is the annual number of live births in a given population, expressed per 1,000 people. When looked at in unison with the crude death rate, the rate of natural increase can be determined.
North Korea: Birth rate from 2013 to 2023
(per 1,000 inhabitants)
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.
