Madagascar Population Pyramid 2036
Madagascar in 2036
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Madagascar at 41,551,316 in 2036. Compared with 2026, when the projection stands at 33,522,052, that represents growth of 24.0% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 22.3 years, with 59.3 children under 15 and 6.9 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
