Cambodia in 2042

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Cambodia at 20,848,376 in 2042. Compared with 2032, when the projection stands at 19,193,350, that represents growth of 8.6% over ten years.

Half of the population would be younger than 31.1 years, with 24.1% children under 15 and 9.0% 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.
