Asia in 2053

In 2053, Asia is projected to have a population of 5,288,123,874 people. Ten years before, in 2043, the projected population is 5,217,954,615 — 1.3% lower.

With a projected median age of 41.7 years, Asia would have a youth dependency ratio of 26.7 and an old-age dependency ratio of 31.3 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
