Bahrain Population Pyramid 2014
Bahrain in 2014
In 2014, Bahrain had a total population of 1,312,848 people. A decade earlier, in 2004, the population was 871,442; it has grown by 50.7% since.
Half of the population was younger than 30.9 years; 20.3% were children under 15 and 2.6% were 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
