Malawi Population Pyramid 2065
Malawi in 2065
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Malawi at 45,890,787 in 2065. Compared with 2055, when the projection stands at 40,357,522, that represents growth of 13.7% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 29.6 years, Malawi would have a youth dependency ratio of 39.7 and an old-age dependency ratio of 11.7 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
