Costa Rica Birth Registrations Drop 33% Over Decade, San José Leads

Costa Rica's Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) reports a 33.1% decline in registered births from 72,347 in 2016 to 48,414 in 2025. San José has the highest registrations, Heredia the lowest. This demographic trend may have long-term implications for labor supply and social spending, but immediate market impact is limited.
