In times of severe financial crises birth rates are decreasing, since the citizens are unable to shoulder greater financial burdens. The purpose of this study was to identify the trend of births occurring in the country after the Greek economic crisis. Material and methods: The study investigated the number of deliveries made to all obstetric clinics in Greece from 2000 to today. It explored the changes that occurred and their correlation with the economic situation in the country. Results: In 2009 there has been a recession in the Greek Economy after several consecutive years of growth, with the growth rate as a percentage of GDP, recording negative (-2.3%). In 2010 the ballooning public debt stands at 126.8% as a percentage of GDP, forcing the country to resort to IMF assistance and support mechanism of the European Union to assist its borrowing needs. Births that took place in Greek hospitals in 2013, were lower by 20,42 % compared to the last year before economic crisis onset. Discussion: The economic crisis, combined with cuts in state expenditure and the implementation of a strict austerity programme, has a significant impact on the economic possibilities of citizens. The financial difficulties they are facing lead to a decrease in birth rates and increased contraceptive use.
