Afghanistan is currently considered to be in Stage 2 of the Demographic Transition Model (DTM). In this stage, countries typically experience high birth rates alongside declining death rates, leading to rapid population growth.
In Stage 2, birth rates are generally high, often exceeding 25-30 births per 1,000 people per year, while death rates decline significantly owing to improvements in healthcare, nutrition, and sanitation. Death rates in this stage typically range from 10-15 deaths per 1,000 people per year.
As of the most recent data, Afghanistan has been experiencing high birth rates (around 30-35 per 1,000) along with a declining death rate (around 10-12 per 1,000). However, these figures can fluctuate based on various factors including conflict, economic conditions, and public health efforts.
Overall, Afghanistan's demographic profile aligns with other countries in Stage 2 of the DTM, characterized by high population growth and a youthful demographic structure.
