The Mongolian population has been decreasing steadily in recent years. According to the information of Mongolian Statistics Committee, 57300 mothers gave birth in 2024. This is a decrease of more than 10 percent from the previous year.

Mongolia’s long-term development policy aims to have a population of 5 million by 2050. If the annual population growth exceeds 1.7 percent per year, Mongolia will reach the goal. But based on current indicators, Mongolia’s population will not reach the level by 2050.

The decreasing birth rate has many causes. One of these causes is that women of reproductive age are having children later. Experts say that the birth rate is expected to decline further by 2030. In Mongolia, a family with 2–3 children is considered a large family. As of today, there are 167 thousand families with three or more children.
