Burundi Population Pyramid 2085
Burundi in 2085
By 2085, the population of Burundi is expected to reach 35,393,143. That would be 8.0% more than in 2075 (32,760,374).
Half of the population would be younger than 32.1 years, with 24.1% children under 15 and 10.5% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
