Lithuania Death Rate
Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Lithuania's death rate was 14.1 in 2025, ranked 11th globally. This represents a 9.3% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Lithuania's death rate stood at 14.1 in 2025, a rise of +1.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 14.1 by 2025. Lithuania ranked 11th globally.
Lithuania’s death rate has risen markedly since the 1960s, moving from a trough of 7.40 in 1964 to an all‑time peak of 17.00 in 2021 before easing to 14.10 in 2025, a level that places the country 11th globally. Over the 65‑year span, the indicator more than doubled, reflecting demographic ageing, lifestyle‑related health issues and the lingering effects of post‑Soviet economic transition. The 2025 figure is closely aligned with Japan’s 14.14 and Hungary’s 14.20, suggesting that Lithuania now shares a mortality profile with other high‑income, ageing societies in Europe and East Asia. The post‑peak decline since 2021 indicates modest improvements in health care access and chronic disease management, yet the rate remains well above the 1960s baseline. Continued reductions will likely depend on further advances in preventive health policies, sustained economic growth, and successful mitigation of risk factors such as smoking and obesity, which could gradually shift the trajectory downward.
