Summary

India in 2085

The median age is projected at 47.2 years, with 24.5 children under 15 and 47.2 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
