Brunei Darussalam Population Pyramid 2085
Brunei Darussalam in 2085
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Brunei Darussalam at 487,484 in 2085. That would be 3.2% less than in 2075 (503,473).
The median age is projected at 46.4 years, with 24.4 children under 15 and 47.2 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
