Bangladesh Population Pyramid 2085
Bangladesh in 2085
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Bangladesh at 221,529,996 in 2085. Compared with 2075, when the projection stands at 225,676,966, that represents a decline of 1.8% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 47.4 years, Bangladesh would have a youth dependency ratio of 25.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 48.2 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
