Fiji Population Pyramid 2036
Fiji in 2036
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Fiji at 972,654 in 2036. That would be 3.8% more than in 2026 (937,281).
With a projected median age of 31.0 years, Fiji would have a youth dependency ratio of 35.0 and an old-age dependency ratio of 12.0 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.
