French Polynesia in 2035
By 2035, the population of French Polynesia is expected to reach 288,066. Compared with 2025, when the projection stands at 282,465, that represents growth of 2.0% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 42.6 years, with 21.7 children under 15 and 28.9 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.
