Gambia Population Pyramid 2050
Gambia in 2050
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of the Gambia at 4,301,896 in 2050. Compared with 2040, when the projection stands at 3,732,797, that represents growth of 15.2% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 27.1 years, with 43.0 children under 15 and 8.2 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
