Uzbekistan in numbers

The UN counts 35,652,307 people in Uzbekistan in mid-2023, which makes it the 43rd-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports, and 0.44% of the world's people. That is 5.7 times its 1950 population of 6.2 million.

In the UN's medium projection it is still growing in 2100, when it reaches 74.4 million. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 42.9 million to 144 million.

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

The median age was 23.7 in 1950 and 27.9 in 2023; the projection has 40.0 in 2100. 5.7% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 19.4% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is still growing in 2100 in the medium projection.

Among countries it ranks 43rd in 2023, 39th in 2050 and 33rd in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Poland in 2027, Ukraine in 2028 and Morocco in 2030. It is overtaken by Mozambique in 2029, Côte d’Ivoire in 2041 and Madagascar in 2046.

UZB · 1950–2100 · every age, every year

Uzbekistan, 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.

UZB · ages 15–64

Who does the work in Uzbekistan

In Uzbekistan the number of people aged 15–64 is still growing in 2100, the last year the UN projects. In 2023 there were 22,615,600 of them.

100 aged 15–64

aged 15–64   children under 15   aged 65 and over

How to read this: the orange squares are 100 people aged 15–64 in 2023, and the rows below are how many children (teal) and how many people aged 65 or older (violet) lived alongside them.

Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 5 years: 2011–2015.

fewer than 50 dependants per 100   the same, projected   50 or more

How to read this: one stripe a year from 1950 to 2100. A stripe takes colour in a year when fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people of working age, and stays grey otherwise; hatching means the year is projected.

How every country compares

UZB · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Uzbekistan, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Uzbekistan loses 7,076 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 2,528 a year more leaving than arriving.

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.

Across the counted years, 1950 to 2023, its biggest single-year gain was 77,914 (1968); its biggest loss, 73,478 (1990).

In 2024, 1,154,963 people living in Uzbekistan had been born in another country, 3 of every 100 people there, against 8 in 1990.

Years in good health in Uzbekistan

Of the 72.2 years a baby born in Uzbekistan in 2021 could expect, about 63.4 would be lived in full health (95% range 62.7–64.2). The years in less than full health come to 8.8, below the world's 9.5, in lives longer than the world's 71.4 years: more of them are healthy ones.

Displacement in Uzbekistan

At the end of 2025, Uzbekistan was hosting 7,705 people who had crossed a border into it, about 0.2 of every 1,000 people living there.

How to read this: one square stands for 500 people, so the rows can be compared with one another. The last row is people from Uzbekistan living in another country, wherever they are.

In 2025, 3,881 people from Uzbekistan asked for asylum in another country. Of every 100 people from Uzbekistan whose claims were decided that year, 20 were given protection. Who asks for asylum, and who is given it
