Bangladesh Population Pyramid 2040
Bangladesh in 2040

The median age is projected at 32.7 years, with 33.7 children under 15 and 14.6 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
