Djibouti Population Pyramid 2029
Djibouti in 2029
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Djibouti at 1,246,670 in 2029. That would be 14.5% more than in 2019 (1,088,709).
With a projected median age of 27.1 years, Djibouti would have a youth dependency ratio of 41.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 8.3 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
