Bahrain Population Pyramid 2005
Bahrain in 2005
As of 2005, Bahrain counted 932,604 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 1995, the population was 593,222; it has grown by 57.2% since.
The median age was 27.4 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 32.0 children under 15 and 2.9 people aged 65 or over. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
