Asia in 2085

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Asia at 4,928,012,788 in 2085. That would be 3.5% less than in 2075 (5,104,719,776).

With a projected median age of 46.4 years, Asia would have a youth dependency ratio of 25.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 49.0 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
