Bahamas Population Pyramid 2042
Bahamas in 2042
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of the Bahamas at 421,740 in 2042. Ten years before, in 2032, the projected population is 412,721 — 2.2% lower.
The median age is projected at 41.8 years, with 22.8 children under 15 and 29.1 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.
