In spite of the drop in the living standards of the considerable part of population of the Kyrgyz Republic and in the presence of a great number of socially important problems in this sphere, some positive trends are observed in the dynamics of basic reproductive and demographic indices. Thus, the growth of the Kyrgyzstan population is due to the excess of the number of births over the number of deaths, the balance of external migration being negative. A steady growth of births is registered in the country since 2001. The fertility rate of women increased from 2.7 in 2007 to 3.1 children in 2011. However, a steady growth of births among women aged 15-19 is observed since 2007. A marked reduction (by 25.5%) in fetoinfantile losses (stillbirths and neonatal mortality) is identified. The level of maternal mortality decreased by 24%, still remaining very high – 47.5 deaths per 1000 live-births.
