French Polynesia Population Pyramid 2040
French Polynesia in 2040
By 2040, the population of French Polynesia is expected to reach 289,169. Ten years before, in 2030, the projected population is 285,547 — 1.3% lower.
With a projected median age of 44.9 years, French Polynesia would have a youth dependency ratio of 21.8 and an old-age dependency ratio of 35.5 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
