Analysis# Tajikistan Fertility Rate
Tajikistan's fertility rate stands at 3.036 births per woman in 2024, representing a historic low for the country. This marks a dramatic 51.3% decline since 1960, when the rate was substantially higher. The nation's peak fertility occurred in 1968 at 6.912 births per woman—more than double today's level—reflecting the demographic patterns of Central Asia during that era.
The past decade reveals a consistent downward trajectory, with the fertility rate declining steadily from 3.459 in 2015 to the current 3.036. Each year between 2015 and 2024 recorded lower births per woman, indicating sustained demographic transition. If this pattern continues, Tajikistan's fertility rate will likely approach or stabilize near 3.0, aligning the country with broader regional trends toward smaller family sizes driven by urbanization, education, and economic development.
