Melanesia Population Pyramid 2038
Melanesia in 2038
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Melanesia at 15,883,182 in 2038. That would be 15.0% more than in 2028 (13,816,580).
Half of the population would be younger than 27.1 years, with 28.6% children under 15 and 5.9% aged 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
