What the Data Shows
The share of Chilean women aged 15 to 49 with children was 56.6% in the 2024 census. The comparable census series was 70.7% in 1992, 71.7% in 2002 and 65.6% in 2017. The share fell by 14.1 percentage points from 1992 and by 9.0 points from 2017. This measure records whether women in the specified age range have children and is not the same statistic as the total fertility rate.

Data notes & caveats
This is a census motherhood-status measure. It is not a total fertility rate and does not represent all women outside ages 15–49.
Methodology
Uses the four INE census shares for women aged 15–49 with children and reports the 1992–2024 and 2017–2024 changes.
Source consistency notes
All four points use the same INE census concept and percentage denominator.
