Births in Kazakhstan through history

Estimated annual births in Kazakhstan, 0 CE to 2026, on a logarithmic scale. The shaded band on the left marks the years where births are modelled rather than recorded. The marker sits on 2026.

Every figure refers to the area inside Kazakhstan's present-day borders. Before 1800 the state did not exist in its current form — see how borders are handled.

What the numbers show

Annual births in Kazakhstan are at their highest in the whole run of estimates in 2021, at about 459K. That is roughly 19 times the estimated ~20.6K births a year in 1 CE.

At 2.92 children per woman, fertility in Kazakhstan is above the level of about 2.1 that would hold a population steady over the long run without migration.

Where these numbers come from

2026 figures are the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium variant. Earlier years come from the UN's estimates (1950 onward), Gapminder's reconstructions (1800–1949) and a model applied to HYDE population estimates (before 1800). The full chain is set out in the methodology, and every source is listed on the sources page.
