Myanmar Population Pyramid 2028
Myanmar in 2028
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Myanmar at 55,802,774 in 2028. That would be 6.8% more than in 2018 (52,272,246).
With a projected median age of 32.0 years, Myanmar would have a youth dependency ratio of 34.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 12.0 per 100 people of working age. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
