In Germany, the proportion of children living in large families has increased, rebounding from a decline over the years leading up to 2015. This rise has been attributed largely to immigration trends since 2015. Data from the Federal Statistical Office shows that families with a migration background tend to have more children compared to native families. By 2024, 19% of migrant families had three or more children versus 10% in non-migrant families. The distribution of children in families shows varying numbers of siblings, with the western states having slightly more larger families than the eastern ones.
