According to the Statistics Agency, the volume of migration will increase, but the migration balance in 2030-2050 will stabilize at a low level, reports ia-centr.ru.

The difference between immigrants and emigrants will be about 40 thousand people. The main trends will continue: the number of those who left will be greater than the number of those who arrived, and the most mobile will be able-bodied youth.

The number of able-bodied population will grow to 28.3 million by 2050, and the elderly - to 10.1 million.

The number of children and adolescents under 15 will fluctuate: after increasing to 13.6 million by 2035, it will fall to 12.3 million.

In 2023, the country's population exceeded 36 million. In 2022, more than 932 thousand people were born in Uzbekistan, and the infant mortality rate decreased to 13.9 per 100 thousand live births. In 2010, it reached 21.

The migration decline has also decreased: the number of those who left abroad in 2022 fell to 8,790 - at least for 22 years.

As a result of demographic and migration processes, Uzbekistan can maintain its leadership in terms of population in Central Asia.
