Irkutsk Oblast registered natural population growth in 2008, the first time after 1993.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stat.irtel.ru/soc.php |title=Иркутскстат |access-date=2008-11-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090303180717/http://www.stat.irtel.ru/soc.php |archive-date=March 3, 2009 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Still, the future prospects for population growth in Irkutsk seems bleak. In 2007, women in Irkutsk were having an average of 1.602 children each. Fertility rate was extremely low in urban areas, where women were having just 1.477 children each. In rural areas however, the fertility rate was slightly above replaceable levels. In rural areas of Irkutsk Oblast, women were having an average of 2.165 children each. (Figures are not available for 2008, although for Russia as a whole fertility rates for 2008 were approx. 6% higher than that in 2007, and for Irkutsk 9% higher).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gks.ru/doc_2008/family.zip |title=Archived copy |access-date=2008-12-05 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723095742/http://www.gks.ru/doc_2008/family.zip |archive-date=July 23, 2011 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
