Fiji Death Rate
Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Fiji's death rate was 9.8 in 2025, ranked 54th globally. This represents a 5.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Fiji's death rate stood at 9.8 in 2025, a rise of +0.5 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 9.8 by 2025. Fiji ranked 54th globally.
Fiji’s death rate has hovered around nine deaths per 1,000 population for most of the past six decades, registering 9.75 in 2025, which places the nation at rank 54 globally. The indicator rose from a 1960 level of 10.78, peaked at 11.16 in 2021, and fell to an all‑time low of 6.37 in 1996, illustrating a pronounced mid‑century decline followed by a recent reversal. Compared with peers of similar ranking, Fiji’s rate is slightly below St. Martin (French part) at 9.82 and marginally above the United Kingdom’s 9.72, suggesting comparable health outcomes among small island economies. The recent uptick after the 1996 trough may reflect aging demographics, shifts in non‑communicable disease prevalence, or changes in health service access. Continued improvements in preventive care and chronic disease management could reverse the upward drift and steer Fiji’s death rate back toward the lower levels observed in the late‑1990s.
