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.
