Asia in 2045

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Asia at 5,241,726,791 in 2045. Compared with 2035, when the projection stands at 5,082,984,232, that represents growth of 3.1% over ten years.

With a projected median age of 39.5 years, Asia would have a youth dependency ratio of 27.1 and an old-age dependency ratio of 26.1 per 100 people of working age. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
