In the analysis of the figures referring to births, it was found as revealing data that “During the last 10 years, a decreasing behavior has been observed in the number of births in Colombia.”
The data allow us to see that the decrease in 2022 is the most marked, with a reduction of -7.7% compared to 2021, which makes it a “historic figure”depending on the entity.
So, in the year 2022, 569,311 babies were born, while in 2021, 616,914 infants were born.

In this sense, it was found that there are fewer young parents. That is to say, mothers aged 30-34, after those aged 20-24 and 25-29are the ones that report the highest participation in total births, with 18.4%, which corresponds to 26,138 live births.
Another striking fact is that even the births of immigrant mothers from Venezuela also decreased compared to the last year. The figure went from 10.9% in 2021 to 8.2% in 2022.
