Bangladesh Population Pyramid 2046
Bangladesh in 2046
In 2046, Bangladesh is projected to have a population of 210,231,189 people. Ten years before, in 2036, the projected population is 196,740,575 — 6.9% lower.
With a projected median age of 35.1 years, Bangladesh would have a youth dependency ratio of 30.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 17.3 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
