Seven millionth resident of Kyrgyzstan to be born in 2025

Bishkek, Oct. 20, 2021 / Kabar /. By the end of 2025, a seven millionth resident of Kyrgyzstan will be born, Kabar News Agency said.

According to the National Development Program of the country, demographic pressure will be observed in the Central Asian region, which determines the dynamics of migration processes. Currently, the concentration of the population continues around two territorial zones - (1) around the city of Bishkek, (2) along the axis of the cities of Osh - Jalal-Abad, which in the future will put pressure on the socio-economic infrastructure, ecology and food security.

The country will be constantly under pressure on the labor market due to the annual natural influx of young people of working age. By 2030, the pressure will peak, when about 350 thousand people a year enter the labor market.

Also, in the medium term, there will be a steady increase in the share of people of retirement age - the annual increase is about 20 thousand people, which should be taken into account in the framework of pension policy and the development of the health care system, the social services market.
