Financial difficulties and lack of housing hinder young Kyrgyzstani people from planning children

Reasons for the declining birth rate

According to a UN study, many young citizens of Kyrgyzstan express a desire to have large families. However, in practice, a number of serious circumstances prevent these intentions from being realized.

Key barriers for young parents are financial instability, health issues, and the lack of their own housing. These factors force families to postpone having children until a later time.
