Brussels: Europe and  Arabs
Figures from the Belgian Statistics Office in Brussels indicated that the rate of increase and decrease in the number of births was affected by the quarantine period that the country experienced after the outbreak of the Corona epidemic in late March 2020, and evidence of that
The number of births in Belgium decreased by 2.9% in 2020 compared to 2019.
This decrease occurred in all three regions, but is more pronounced in Brussels (-6%) and Wallonia (-3.9%) than in Flanders (-1.5%). The decline in the number of births was particularly evident in the last quarter of the year. That is, the decrease was clear in the event of pregnancy in the first period of the spring of the year 2020, that is, before the ban
In the Brussels-Capital Region, the decrease was 13% compared to the same months of the previous year.
But a cautious and regionally different recovery occurred in the spring and summer of 2021, with the number of births in October, November and December 2021 increasing markedly in all three regions.
 In 2021, the number of births in our country increased by 3.7% compared to 2020.
The same development can be observed in Flanders (+ 4.7%) and Wallonia (+ 3.9%), while in Brussels the birth rate has decreased slightly (-1)%. Compared to 2019, this means an increase of 0.7% for Belgium, 3.2% for Flanders, and a decrease of 0.1% and 6.9% for Wallonia and Brussels, respectively.
