Djibouti Population Pyramid 2040
Djibouti in 2040
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Djibouti at 1,406,635 in 2040. That would be 11.4% more than in 2030 (1,262,678).
With a projected median age of 30.0 years, Djibouti would have a youth dependency ratio of 37.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 11.8 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.
