How Kyrgyzstan plans to improve its demographic situation by 2030

Kyrgyzstan has defined the main directions of its demographic policy for 2026–2030. The authorities intend to improve living conditions for families, expand access to education and healthcare, and create additional employment opportunities for parents, the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Migration said.

On 16 October, the first meeting of the Advisory Council on Demographic Policy under the Cabinet of Ministers was held. The council was created on 1 October to coordinate implementation of the Concept of Demographic Policy of Kyrgyzstan until 2040. Participants discussed the demographic situation, existing problems and measures planned for the next five years.

The plan includes monthly allowances for children from birth to age three, building 115 kindergartens a year with 240 places each, raising preschool coverage to 80%, opening at least two new regional perinatal centres and creating at least 15 parenthood preparation schools. The release does not specify the total funding for the planned measures.
