Uzbekistan Birth Rate
Crude birth rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CBRT.IN
Uzbekistan's birth rate was 27.7 in 2025, ranked 37th globally. This represents a 4.7% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Uzbekistan's birth rate stood at 27.7 in 2025, a rise of +1.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 27.7 by 2025. Uzbekistan ranked 37th globally.
Uzbekistan’s birth rate has fallen dramatically since the early 1960s, when it reached an all‑time peak of 47.98 births per 1,000 people in 1961, to a trough of 20.40 in 2005, and further down to 27.71 in 2025, ranking 37th globally. The 65‑year series shows a sustained decline that mirrors the demographic transition experienced by many lower‑income economies as fertility norms shift and female education expands. Compared with peer nations of similar rank, Uzbekistan’s 2025 figure is virtually identical to Comoros (27.72) and only slightly above São Tomé and Principe (27.59), while remaining below Eritrea’s 28.27 and Pakistan’s 27.24. The downward trajectory reflects continued urbanisation, increased access to reproductive health services, and government policies encouraging smaller families. If economic development accelerates and family‑planning programmes are further strengthened, the birth rate is likely to continue its gradual decline, potentially moving Uzbekistan into the low‑fertility bracket observed in many middle‑income countries.
