Bhutan Population Pyramid 2043
Bhutan in 2043
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Bhutan at 871,100 in 2043. Compared with 2033, when the projection stands at 834,986, that represents growth of 4.3% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 40.0 years, Bhutan would have a youth dependency ratio of 22.0 and an old-age dependency ratio of 16.1 per 100 people of working age. The near-vertical sides of the pyramid indicate a stationary age structure, with births roughly balancing the passage of cohorts into older age.
