Benin in 2026

As of 2026, Benin counts an estimated 15,170,420 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 2016, the population was 11,697,841; it has grown by 29.7% since. With a median age of 19.2 years, Benin has a youth dependency ratio of 73.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 5.7 per 100 people of working age. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
