French Polynesia Population Pyramid 2045
French Polynesia in 2045
In 2045, French Polynesia is projected to have a population of 288,131 people. The total would be almost unchanged from 2035 (288,066).
The median age is projected at 46.7 years, with 22.0 children under 15 and 41.6 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.
