Pakistan Population Pyramid 2027
Pakistan in 2027

With a projected median age of 22.0 years, Pakistan would have a youth dependency ratio of 58.8 and an old-age dependency ratio of 7.5 per 100 people of working age. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
