French Polynesia Population Pyramid 2032
French Polynesia in 2032
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of French Polynesia at 286,690 in 2032. That would be 2.3% more than in 2022 (280,378).
With a projected median age of 41.1 years, French Polynesia would have a youth dependency ratio of 22.1 and an old-age dependency ratio of 24.9 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.
