Bahamas Population Pyramid 2048
Bahamas in 2048
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of the Bahamas at 424,117 in 2048. Ten years before, in 2038, the projected population is 418,750 — 1.3% lower.
With a projected median age of 43.1 years, the Bahamas would have a youth dependency ratio of 22.5 and an old-age dependency ratio of 31.9 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.
