Oman Population Pyramid 2046
Oman in 2046
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Oman at 7,460,275 in 2046. Compared with 2036, when the projection stands at 6,599,108, that represents growth of 13.0% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 31.9 years, Oman would have a youth dependency ratio of 27.1 and an old-age dependency ratio of 7.1 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.
