New Zealand Population Pyramid 2047
New Zealand in 2047
In 2047, New Zealand is projected to have a population of 5,724,903 people. Ten years before, in 2037, the projected population is 5,560,354 — 3.0% lower.
The median age is projected at 43.4 years, with 25.0 children under 15 and 38.4 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
