Summary

Eastern Asia in 2046

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Eastern Asia at 1,510,329,186 in 2046. Ten years before, in 2036, the projected population is still 1,593,155,388 — a ten-year decline of 5.2%.

Half of the population would be younger than 52.0 years, with 9.9% children under 15 and 29.7% aged 65 or older. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
