Melanesia Population Pyramid 2050
Melanesia in 2050
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Melanesia at 18,090,930 in 2050. That would be 11.2% more than in 2040 (16,274,485).
Half of the population would be younger than 29.7 years, with 26.0% children under 15 and 7.8% aged 65 or older. The near-vertical sides of the pyramid indicate a stationary age structure, with births roughly balancing the passage of cohorts into older age.
