| Summary: | Objective: An evaluation of various medical and demographic indicators and their impact on the development of Tajikistan.
Methods: The research focused on various indicators reflecting the medical and demographic landscape of the Republic of Tajikistan (RT). The analysis utilized annually updated statistical data from the Agency on Statistics under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan (TAJSTAT).
Results: As of January 1, 2024, Tajikistan's population reached approximately 10.3 million, reflecting a near doubling of the population over the last two decades, rising from 5.3 million. A key indicator of health policy efficacy, life expectancy in Tajikistan has shown a consistent annual increase, reaching 75.2 years in 2024 – comprising 74.8 years for men and 77.4 years for women. Population dynamics reveal significant temporal and regional variations in birth rates, mortality, and natural population growth rates. Over the past twenty years, Tajikistan has made substantial advancements in poverty alleviation, positioning itself among the top ten nations with the most rapid reductions in poverty rates. Specifically, from 2000 to 2023, the overall poverty rate decreased from 83.0% to 21.2%, with extreme poverty dropping from 73% to 10.7%. Concurrently, the socioeconomic well-being of the population has experienced steady improvement. The cash income of citizens has risen by a factor of 2.9, escalating from 41.1 billion somonis ($3.77 billion) to 117.9 billion somonis ($10.81 billion). This significant increase underscores an enhancement in the standard of living within the framework of the national economic strategy.
Conclusion: Continuous surveillance of medical and demographic indicators within the population serves as a crucial methodology for evaluating the public health landscape. This systematic approach enables the identification of health trends, disparities, and emergent issues, facilitating targeted interventions and resource allocation |
