Overview
Belarus's death rate stood at 13.6 in 2025, a rise of +0.3 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 13.6 by 2025. Belarus ranked 13th globally.
Belarus has exhibited a concerning trend in its death rate, with the indicator having reached an all-time peak of 15.84 in 2021, surpassing its 65-year coverage period. This alarming rate is even more pronounced when compared to its peer countries, with Romania recording a similarly high rate of 13.64. The country's death rate has also shown a significant increase from its all-time trough of 7.24 in 1964, indicating a steady decline in the health and well-being of its citizens over the years. As of 2025, Belarus's death rate stands at 13.62, ranking 13th globally. The country's struggle to contain its death rate is a pressing concern, which could be exacerbated by factors such as aging population, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, and rising mortality rates among key demographics. A reversal of this trend would require concerted efforts to improve healthcare access, address underlying socioeconomic issues, and invest in public health initiatives, potentially mitigating the country's mortality crisis.
