French Polynesia Population Pyramid 2037
French Polynesia in 2037
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of French Polynesia at 288,684 in 2037. Compared with 2027, when the projection stands at 283,670, that represents growth of 1.8% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 43.5 years, with 21.8 children under 15 and 31.6 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
