Overview
Cabo Verde's death rate stood at 5.0 in 2025, a decline of +0.0 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5.0 by 2025. Cabo Verde ranked 190th globally.
Cabo Verde’s death rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year series, declining from an all‑time peak of 18.89 in 1960 to a trough of 5.00 in 2022 and registering 5.01 in 2025, which places the nation at rank 190 globally. This reduction reflects sustained improvements in public health, vaccination coverage and access to basic medical services, mirroring similar advances in peer jurisdictions such as the Northern Mariana Islands (4.97) and Macao SAR, China (5.02). The long‑term downward trajectory aligns with regional patterns in sub‑Saharan Africa where mortality declines have accelerated since the early 2000s, driven by expanded HIV treatment, maternal‑child health programs and broader socioeconomic development. While the 2025 figure is marginally above the 2022 low, the persistence of low mortality suggests that continued investment in health infrastructure and preventive care is likely to keep the rate near its recent trough, barring unforeseen health shocks or demographic shifts.
