Summary

Eastern Asia in 2031

With a projected median age of 45.1 years, Eastern Asia would have a youth dependency ratio of 16.7 and an old-age dependency ratio of 29.8 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
