Myanmar in 2029

By 2029, the population of Myanmar is expected to reach 56,085,140. Compared with 2019, when the projection stands at 52,640,713, that represents growth of 6.5% over ten years.

With a projected median age of 32.3 years, Myanmar would have a youth dependency ratio of 33.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 12.3 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
