According to allcitypopulation, Uzbekistan is a Central Asian country with a population of 32 million people. It is the most populous nation in Central Asia, and the fourth-largest in the Commonwealth of Independent States. The majority of the population are ethnically Uzbek, which make up about 80% of the total population. Other ethnic groups include Russians, Kazakhs, Karakalpaks, Tajiks and Kyrgyz. The official language is Uzbek, but Russian is widely spoken as well. The population of Uzbekistan continues to grow rapidly due to a high fertility rate. In recent years, the fertility rate has increased from 2.7 children per woman in 2005 to 3 children per woman in 2020. This growth rate has caused concerns among economists due to its potential impact on economic development and infrastructure. Additionally, there are also concerns over increasing unemployment rates due to an influx of young people entering the workforce without adequate skills or education. The life expectancy at birth for Uzbekistanis is 72 years for men and 76 years for women; both figures are higher than those reported for other countries in Central Asia and Caucasus region. Moreover, infant mortality rates have decreased significantly over recent decades from 56 deaths per 1 000 live births in 1990 to 22 deaths per 1 000 live births in 2020 according to UN data. Health indicators have improved significantly since independence as a result of improved access to healthcare services as well as increased education about health practices such as immunization programs and maternal care services.
