Bahamas Population Pyramid 2029
Bahamas in 2029
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of the Bahamas at 408,947 in 2029. Ten years before, in 2019, the projected population is 394,674 — 3.6% lower.
The median age is projected at 37.8 years, with 23.4 children under 15 and 19.6 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
