Tajikistan’s nine millionth resident can be born in the first half-year of 2018.
As of January 1, 2018, Tajikistan’s population is estimated at 8,931,000, according to the official websites of the Agency for Statistics under the President of Tajikistan.
If to take into account that since 1998 an annual population growth rate in Tajikistan has been more than 2 percent, one can suppose that the nine millionth resident of the country will be born in May this year.
However, it is to be noted that figures posted on the website of the Agency for Statistics differ from figures given by Ms. Gulnora Hasanzoda, the chairperson of the Agency for Statistics, at a news conference in Dushanbe last week.
“By the end of 2017, Tajikistan’s population has been estimated at 8,735,000, which was 186,000 people more than in 2016,” Ms. Hasanzoda, said, noting that the annual population growth rate last year stood at 2.1 percent.
Proceedings from figures given by Ms. Hasanozoda, one can suppose that the nine millionth resident of Tajikistan will be born in 2019.
Recall, Tajikistan’s eight millionth resident was born in Dushanbe in February 2013. A baby girl that was born at Dushanbe’s maternity house # 3 in the morning of February 5 became the eight millionth resident of Tajikistan. She is the first child in the family of 33-year-old Maysara Sharipova and 37-year-old Rahmonali Sharipov.
The Dushanbe mayor’s office donated a two-room apartment to the happy parents.
