Nepal Population Pyramid 2100
Nepal in 2100
By 2100, the population of Nepal is expected to reach 31,831,433. Compared with 2090, when the projection stands at 33,642,041, that represents a decline of 5.4% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 48.4 years, Nepal would have a youth dependency ratio of 24.0 and an old-age dependency ratio of 50.3 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.
