Kazakhstan in numbers

The UN counts 20,330,104 people in Kazakhstan in mid-2023, which makes it the 64th-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports, and 0.25% of the world's people. That is 3.0 times its 1950 population of 6.8 million.

In the UN's medium projection it is still growing in 2100, when it reaches 33.7 million. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 8.5 million to 116 million.

Births outnumber deaths in every year from 1950 to 2100, estimates and projection alike.

The median age was 23.0 in 1950 and 30.5 in 2023; the projection has 41.9 in 2100. 8.3% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 22.2% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is still growing in 2100 in the medium projection.

Among countries it ranks 64th in 2023, 64th in 2050 and 61st in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Taiwan in 2032, Sri Lanka in 2042 and North Korea in 2048. It is overtaken by Chad in 2025, Somalia in 2028 and Senegal in 2034.

Kazakhstan, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

KAZ · ages 15–64

Who does the work in Kazakhstan

In Kazakhstan the number of people aged 15–64 is still growing in 2100, the last year the UN projects. In 2023 there were 12,635,700 of them.

Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 12 years: 2002–2013.

Who arrives in Kazakhstan, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Kazakhstan gains 3,000 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 25–29, at 2,929 a year more arriving than leaving.

one square = 500 people a year

020406080+

more arrive than leave more leave than arrive

How to read this: left to right is age, from babies to 100. Blue squares above the line are ages at which more people arrive than leave; orange squares below it, ages at which more leave than arrive. These are the UN's projection for 2020–2025. There is no record of migration by age before 2020.

In the years that were counted, 1950–2023, the most it gained in one year was 135,047 (1977) and the most it lost was 520,028 (1994).

In 2024, 2,089,797 people living in Kazakhstan had been born in another country, 10 of every 100 people there, against 19 in 1990.

Years in good health in Kazakhstan

In Kazakhstan, WHO puts the healthy years a newborn could expect in 2021 at 61.6 (95% range 60.9–62.2), out of 70.3 in all. The years in less than full health come to 8.7, below the world's 9.5: shorter lives leave fewer years in which to be ill.
