Mauritius Population Pyramid 2100
Mauritius in 2100
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Mauritius at 581,716 in 2100. Ten years before, in 2090, the projected population is still 674,494 — a ten-year decline of 13.8%.
With a projected median age of 57.2 years, Mauritius would have a youth dependency ratio of 20.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 79.0 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
