Analysis# Tajikistan Life Expectancy at Birth
Tajikistan's life expectancy reached 71.927 years in 2024, marking an all-time high and representing a remarkable 36.9% increase since 1960, when it stood at just 52.535 years. Over six decades, the country has added nearly two decades to average lifespans, reflecting substantial improvements in healthcare, nutrition, and living standards across the population.
The past decade reveals steady progress with a notable setback in 2020, when life expectancy dropped to 68.605 years—likely reflecting pandemic-related mortality and healthcare disruptions. Recovery began immediately in 2021, and the upward trajectory has continued through 2024. The recent acceleration, climbing 3.322 years from 2020 to 2024, suggests Tajikistan's health systems have stabilized and strengthened following the global crisis.
