Overview
Kyrgyz Republic's dependency ratio stood at 61.48 in 2025, a rise of +0.12 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 61.48 by 2025. Kyrgyz Republic ranked 66th globally.
Kyrgyz Republic’s total dependency ratio stood at 61.48 in 2025, placing the country 66th in the world according to World Bank data. The ratio, which measures the proportion of non‑working‑age persons to the working‑age population, has fallen markedly from its early‑post‑war high of 81.34 in 1960 and the all‑time peak of 86.61 recorded in 1964, reflecting a demographic transition toward a larger share of the labour force. The lowest point of 53.14 in 2010 coincided with a period of accelerated fertility decline and increased life expectancy, after which the ratio began a gradual ascent as the population aged. Kyrgyz Republic’s current figure is closely aligned with peers such as Lesotho (61.53) and Timor‑Leste (61.86), suggesting similar demographic pressures in the region. If fertility rates remain low and life expectancy continues to rise, the dependency ratio is likely to climb modestly, underscoring the need for policies that expand labour‑force participation and support ageing households.
