   Tajikistan: all 12 UN projections since 1998 expected fewer people than there are

   The UN's 1998 projection expected 8.64M for 2023; the outcome was 10.4M (+20%). The latest checked one: the UN's 2022 projection expected 10.1M for 2023; the outcome was 10.4M (+2%). "Outcome" here is the UN's own current estimate, not registration data.
