In the country, 703 people are born each day, while the daily mortality rate is 130 people. As of early December 2023, the population of the country is 10,223,236 people.

According to project experts’ forecasts, the population of the country will reach 12.4 million by 2035.

The population of Uzbekistan has reached 35,384,614 people. The birth rate is 2,067 newborns per day, while the mortality rate is 580 people per day.

A negative migration balance is also observed in other Central Asian countries. Thus, 27 people leave Kyrgyzstan daily, and 11 leave Turkmenistan.

The birth rate in Kyrgyzstan is 417 infants per day, and the mortality rate is 104. The population of the country is 6,779,345 people.

In Turkmenistan, with a population of 6,551,314 people, the birth rate is 358 children, and the death rate is 118 people per day.

According to experts, the high level of migration in Tajikistan is provoked by difficult living conditions and a lack of jobs in the country.
