In Norway, the crude birth rate in 1800 was thirty live births per thousand people, meaning that three percent of the population had been born in that year. In the nineteenth century, Norway's crude birth rate generally fluctuated between 27 and 34 births per thousand people, during a time of war, independence and industrialization. From the turn of the twentieth century until 1935, the crude birth rate dropped from just under thirty in 1900, to 15.2 in 1935. During and after the Second World War, Norway experienced a baby boom, where the rate increased to over twenty children per thousand people in the late 1940s, and it did not fall back to it's pre-war level until the late 1970s. From 1980 onwards, the crude birth rate of Norway remained between eleven and fourteen, and in 2020 it is expected to fall to it's lowest level of 11.1 births per thousand people.
