Mali Population Pyramid 2047
Mali in 2047
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Mali at 43,530,854 in 2047. Ten years before, in 2037, the projected population is 34,823,450 — 25.0% lower.
With a projected median age of 20.6 years, Mali would have a youth dependency ratio of 64.6 and an old-age dependency ratio of 5.5 per 100 people of working age. 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.
