According to recent data from the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT), Greece has experienced a significant decline in birth rates, with the total number of births falling to 65,594 in 2025, a decrease of 2,873 or 4.2% compared to the previous year. This marks a continuation of a troubling trend, as the number of births has decreased by nearly 42,000 over the last two decades. Notably, the decline in births has been more pronounced in various regions across the country, with the most significant drops occurring in November and January.
The statistical report highlights a change in demographics, with many Greek mothers now choosing to have children later in life, particularly after the age of 40. Despite this nationwide trend, the region of Crete has shown resilience, being the only area in Greece to defy the general decline in births. This demographic shift raises concerns about Greece's population trajectory and the potential social and economic implications associated with ongoing low birth rates.
