Bangladesh Population Pyramid 2049
Bangladesh in 2049
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Bangladesh at 213,638,540 in 2049. That would be 6.2% more than in 2039 (201,208,773).
Half of the population would be younger than 36.2 years, with 19.6% children under 15 and 13.1% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
