Survey Question: The death rate, as defined by World Development Indicators, measures the number of deaths in a given population during a specific time period, usually expressed as deaths per 1,000 individuals per year.
Key Takeaways
New Zealand's death rate declined from 7.9 in 1990 to 6.5 in 2010, driven by advancements in healthcare, lower infant mortality, and an overall healthier population. The fluctuations in subsequent years, particularly the increase to 7.5 in 2022, highlight demographic shifts, including an aging population.

The rise during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 to 6.8 reflects global healthcare challenges. By 2022, the higher death rate underscores the combined effects of aging demographics and pandemic-related impacts, emphasizing the need for continued focus on healthcare resilience and elderly care.
