Reversal in Downward Trend: Andalusia Sees Over 29,000 Births for First Time Since June, Bucking Previous Decline
In the first half of 2025, Spain has seen a total of 155,635 births, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE). This figure is slightly lower compared to the birth rates in 2021 and 2022, which stood at 159,812 and 159,519 respectively.
The birth rate in 2020 was 170,741, while in the years 2018 and 2019, it was 181,366 and 175,429 respectively. It's worth noting that in June 2025, the highest number of births were recorded in the age group of 30 to 34 years, with 8,636 births. The age group of 35 to 39 years followed closely behind with 7,768 births.
In contrast, the number of deaths registered in Spain up to week 31 of 2025 stands at 271,554. This is a decrease from the number of deaths recorded in the same period in 2022 (287,025) and 2024 (267,491), but higher than the number in 2020 (265,789) and 2021 (271,586).
In the region of Andalusia, the number of births in the first six months of 2025 is similar to those of the same period in 2024. A total of 29,160 births were recorded, with 15,040 being male and 14,120 being female. The highest number of births in Andalusia were in the age group of 30 to 34 years (9,712) and 35 to 39 years (8,032).
Interestingly, the number of births to mothers over 40 years old in Andalusia in the first six months of 2025 was 2,717, while in Spain as a whole, it was 2,708. There were six births to mothers under 25 years old in Andalusia in the first six months of 2025.
The political government of Andalusia from January to June 2025 is led by the regional Andalusian government, which manages the autonomous community within Spain's parliamentary monarchy system under the Constitution of 1978. Spain's national government is headed by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez since June 2018, with King Felipe VI as head of state since 2014.
Comparing the birth rates in the first six months of 2025 to ten years ago, the number of births in Andalusia is slightly higher. However, it's important to note that specific details about the regional president or coalition in office during this period are not provided in the search results.
Overall, the data suggests a slight decrease in birth rates and an increase in death rates in Spain compared to the past few years, with some regional variations. The reasons behind these trends are complex and require further investigation.
