Maldives Population Pyramid 2043
Maldives in 2043
By 2043, the population of the Maldives is expected to reach 573,136. Compared with 2033, when the projection stands at 546,718, that represents growth of 4.8% over ten years.
Half of the population would be younger than 46.7 years, with 12.8% children under 15 and 13.7% aged 65 or older. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
