Barbados Population Pyramid 2098
Barbados in 2098
In 2098, Barbados is projected to have a population of 197,484 people. That would be 6.8% less than in 2088 (211,866).
With a projected median age of 50.9 years, Barbados would have a youth dependency ratio of 23.7 and an old-age dependency ratio of 59.7 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.
