Life expectancy at birth, total SP.DYN.LE00.IN
Tajikistan's life expectancy was 72.3 in 2025, ranked 132nd globally. This represents a 0.8% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Tajikistan's life expectancy stood at 72.3 in 2025, a rise of +0.6 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 72.3 by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 132nd globally.
Tajikistan’s life expectancy has risen steadily over the 65‑year span from 52.53 in 1960 to 72.35 in 2025, the highest figure recorded for the country and placing it 132nd in the global ranking. The increase of nearly 20 years reflects gradual improvements in health care, nutrition and disease control, yet the current level remains modest compared with regional peers; Uzbekistan records 72.46, Ukraine 72.33 and the Kyrgyz Republic 72.54. The all‑time trough in 1960 occurred during the Soviet era when limited medical infrastructure and high infant mortality constrained longevity, while the all‑time peak coincides with the most recent World Bank estimate for 2025. Although the upward trajectory suggests continued gains, accelerating progress will likely depend on expanding universal health coverage, reducing rural‑urban disparities and addressing non‑communicable disease risk factors, which could push Tajikistan’s life expectancy beyond the present ceiling.
