Mauritius Population Pyramid 2039
Mauritius in 2039
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Mauritius at 1,202,318 in 2039. Compared with 2029, when the projection stands at 1,254,283, that represents a decline of 4.1% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 45.5 years, Mauritius would have a youth dependency ratio of 19.1 and an old-age dependency ratio of 31.3 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
