Overview
Tajikistan's income share bottom 10% stood at 2.69% in 2025, a decline of +0.21pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2.69% by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 40th globally.
Tajikistan’s share of national income accruing to the bottom 10 percent of earners fell to 2.69 percent in 2025, placing the country 40th in the world and marginally above Latvia’s 2.62 percent share. The indicator has trended downward since the earliest observation in 1999, when the share stood at 3.30 percent, and after reaching an all‑time peak of 3.40 percent in 2009 it slipped to a trough of 2.50 percent in 2022 before the modest rebound recorded in the latest year. Over the 11‑year coverage period the decline reflects persistent structural constraints in Tajikistan’s labor market, limited fiscal capacity for redistributive policies, and slow growth in low‑skill sectors that traditionally employ the poorest households. By contrast, Austria’s 2.72 percent share illustrates how higher‑income economies can maintain slightly larger bottom‑decile portions through more progressive taxation and stronger social safety nets. If Tajikistan expands targeted social programmes and improves wage growth in informal and agricultural employment, the share of income for the poorest decile could stabilize or begin to rise in the coming years.
