Impact of the pandemic on birth rates in Kazakhstan
Crazy Kirk here! Let's dive into the baby boom in Kazakhstan back in 2020, shall we? The Minister of Health, Alexei Tsoi, announced some pretty exciting demographic statistics. He stated that previous birth rate peaks were last seen in 1987, and 2020 came close to matching that!
Despite the pandemic and the pressure on healthcare systems, infant mortality rates dropped by a whopping 7.1%, and child mortality decreased by 12.1%. Pretty impressive, huh?
Alexei also shared some details about the strategies they're implementing to keep infant mortality low. Here's a sneak peek: They're giving nearly 4.4 million children preventive examinations, carrying out over 900 thousand screenings for early detection of diseases and developmental disorders. Over 90.7% of the child population is vaccinated against 12 infectious diseases too!
Now, I must admit, I couldn't find specific 2020 data on Kazakhstan's birth and infant mortality rates. But here are some interesting insights from a quick search. There's a trend of marriages happening later in life and geographical differences in marriage rates in Kazakhstan. And in Uzbekistan, a neighboring country, they've got a high birth rate and infant mortality rate, which is pretty common in the region.

But for now, congrats to Kazakhstan on the baby boom and their continued efforts to protect those little ones!
