Maldives Population Pyramid 2041
Maldives in 2041
In 2041, the Maldives is projected to have a population of 567,604 people. Ten years before, in 2031, the projected population is 541,921 — 4.7% lower.
With a projected median age of 45.6 years, the Maldives would have a youth dependency ratio of 17.1 and an old-age dependency ratio of 16.3 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
