Eastern Asia in 2030

The median age is projected at 44.6 years, with 17.5 children under 15 and 28.5 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
