French Polynesia Population Pyramid 2081
French Polynesia in 2081
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of French Polynesia at 227,892 in 2081. Ten years before, in 2071, the projected population is still 249,162 — a ten-year decline of 8.5%.
Half of the population would be younger than 57.3 years, with 10.7% children under 15 and 41.1% aged 65 or older. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
