Mali Population Pyramid 2048
Mali in 2048
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Mali at 44,405,720 in 2048. That would be 24.4% more than in 2038 (35,685,574).
With a projected median age of 20.8 years, Mali would have a youth dependency ratio of 63.5 and an old-age dependency ratio of 5.6 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.
