Population Trend

How the total population has changed over the decades. A rising line means the country has been growing, a flat or falling line indicates stagnation or decline.

Population Projection to 2100

Estimated future population based on current trends in birth rates, death rates, and migration. The dashed line shows this is a projection, not actual data.

Birth Rate vs Death Rate

Birth rate (green) vs. death rate (red) per 1,000 people per year. When the birth rate is higher than the death rate, the population grows naturally.

Life Expectancy (Male vs Female)

Average number of years a newborn can expect to live. Blue shows men, red shows women. Women typically live longer in most countries.

About Country — Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is a country in Asia (Western Asia) with a total population of 10,202,830 as of 2024. It covers an area of 86,600 km², resulting in a population density of 122.9 people per km².

The average life expectancy is 74.4 years (71.6 for men, 77.1 for women). The fertility rate stands at 1.55 children per woman, and the median age of the population is 35.2 years.

The country's population growth rate is 0.48% per year. Net migration is 10,864 people, indicating that more people are moving into the country than leaving. The infant mortality rate is 13.3 per 1,000 live births.

Demographic Profile

Azerbaijan is located in Western Asia, a part of Asia, and covers an area of 86,600 km². With a population of 10,202,830, the country has a population density of 122.9 inhabitants per square kilometer, which is above the global average of approximately 60 people per km².

The demographic structure of Azerbaijan reveals an aging population. The median age of 35.2 years means that half of the population is younger and half is older than this age. This aging population structure poses challenges for pension systems, healthcare provision, and the labor market, as the ratio of working-age to retired individuals continues to decline.

Health and Longevity

Life expectancy in Azerbaijan stands at 74.4 years overall — 71.6 years for men and 77.1 years for women. This is close to the global average, indicating ongoing improvements in healthcare and living conditions. The infant mortality rate is 13.3 per 1,000 live births, which reflects moderate healthcare conditions with room for improvement.

Fertility and Population Growth

The total fertility rate (TFR) of 1.55 children per woman is below the replacement level of 2.1, which without immigration leads to population decline over time. The population is growing at a rate of 0.48% per year. This moderate growth rate reflects a balance between natural increase and migration patterns.

Migration

Net migration in Azerbaijan is 10,864 people, meaning more people are moving into the country than leaving. The country serves as a destination for migrants, which helps offset low natural population growth and fills labor market needs.

Outlook

Based on current demographic trends, Azerbaijan's population dynamics reflect broader patterns seen across Western Asia. As the population ages, adapting social security systems and healthcare to serve a growing elderly population will be a key challenge.
