Tajikistan Death Rate
Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Tajikistan's death rate was 4.4 in 2025, ranked 205th globally. This represents a 5.0% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Tajikistan's death rate stood at 4.4 in 2025, a decline of +0.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 4.4 by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 205th globally.
Tajikistan’s death rate has fallen dramatically over the 65‑year span from 1960 to 2025, declining from an all‑time peak of 16.74 deaths per 1,000 people in 1960 to a trough of 4.35 in 2025, placing the country at rank 205 globally. This reduction reflects sustained improvements in health care access, vaccination coverage and maternal‑child health programmes that accompanied the nation’s post‑Soviet development agenda. The contemporary figure of 4.35 is closely aligned with peer nations such as Algeria (4.39) and Nicaragua (4.42), suggesting that Tajikistan now shares a mortality profile typical of lower‑middle‑income economies that have largely completed the epidemiological transition. Continued declines are likely to depend on further investments in chronic disease management, ageing‑population policies and the mitigation of emerging health threats; without such measures, the downward trajectory could stall or reverse.
