North Macedonia's death rate has exhibited notable fluctuations over the past 65 years, with a significant peak in 2021 at 15.50, surpassing even the country's closest peer, Germany's 13.22, and a trough in 1978 at 6.87. The death rate has gradually increased since the 1978 low, with a slight acceleration in the 21st century, reaching 13.12 in 2025, a ranking of 18 globally. This trend is comparable to other European countries, such as Estonia, which has a death rate of 12.84. The increasing death rate in North Macedonia may be attributed to various factors, including demographic changes and healthcare system performance. A sustained improvement in healthcare infrastructure, particularly in the elderly care sector, would likely contribute to a decline in the death rate, potentially aligning North Macedonia more closely with its European peers in the coming years.
