Australia/New Zealand in 2042

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Australia/New Zealand at 36,440,454 in 2042. That would be 6.9% more than in 2032 (34,098,038).

Half of the population would be younger than 42.6 years, with 15.7% children under 15 and 22.6% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
