Tajikistan is currently a stage 3 country. This is due to the pyramid shape of its population. The country has a moderate fertility rate at almost 3 children per woman. Another reason why the country is classified as a stage 3 country because the death rate has declined from 1995 to 2015 and will continue to decline as it approaches stage 4. This could be due to improvements in medical care and better supply of water.
