Mali Population Pyramid 2045
Mali in 2045
By 2045, the population of Mali is expected to reach 41,778,981. Ten years before, in 2035, the projected population is 33,118,345 — 26.2% lower.
The median age is projected at 20.1 years, with 66.8 children under 15 and 5.2 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.
