During the first 11 months of 2018, a total of 36922 women gave birth to 37231 babies in Ulaanbaatar; 19034 were male and 18197 were female. There were also 529 twins and 13 triplets.

Mongolia embraced its three millionth citizen in 2015, born in Umnugovi Province, 27 years after registering the nation’s two millionth citizen.

An all-time high number of births in Mongolia were registered in 1988, when 73,000 babies were born. Those babies are now adults and many are parents themselves. However, researchers say that the birth rate decreased between 1990 and 2000 due to the transition to a free market, which means the number of women giving birth from now on will also decrease. However, Mongolia’s birth rate increased again in 2016 to 25.4 per 1,000 from 18.4 babies per 1,000 population in 2006.
