Oman Population Pyramid 2049
Oman in 2049
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Oman at 7,734,350 in 2049. Compared with 2039, when the projection stands at 6,847,378, that represents growth of 13.0% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 32.3 years, Oman would have a youth dependency ratio of 27.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 8.4 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.
