Burundi Population Pyramid 2073
Burundi in 2073
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Burundi at 32,138,558 in 2073. That would be 11.8% more than in 2063 (28,759,211).
Half of the population would be younger than 29.3 years, with 26.5% children under 15 and 7.2% aged 65 or older. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
