Mongolia Death Rate
Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Mongolia's death rate was 5.7 in 2025, ranked 175th globally. This represents a 4.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Mongolia's death rate stood at 5.7 in 2025, a rise of +0.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5.7 by 2025. Mongolia ranked 175th globally.
Mongolia’s death rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year series, dropping from an all‑time peak of 22.93 in 1960 to a trough of 5.10 in 2020 and reaching 5.72 in 2025, which places the country at rank 175 globally. This long‑term decline reflects improvements in health care access, vaccination coverage and reductions in communicable disease mortality, while the recent slight rise from the 2020 low corresponds with an aging population and increased prevalence of non‑communicable diseases. The 2025 figure is virtually identical to that of Kosovo (5.72) and closely matches Egypt (5.71) and Malaysia (5.73), situating Mongolia among middle‑income nations that have achieved comparable mortality outcomes. The persistent downward trajectory suggests that continued investment in preventive health services and chronic disease management could further lower the death rate, while demographic shifts and potential health shocks would be the main factors capable of altering this trend.
