French Polynesia Population Pyramid 2085
French Polynesia in 2085
In 2085, French Polynesia is projected to have a population of 219,149 people. Ten years before, in 2075, the projected population is still 240,872 — a ten-year decline of 9.0%.
With a projected median age of 57.5 years, French Polynesia would have a youth dependency ratio of 22.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 87.3 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.
