Papua New Guinea in 2016

The population of Papua New Guinea in 2016 was 8,961,717. A decade earlier, in 2006, the population was 6,747,720; it has grown by 32.8% since. Half of the population was younger than 22.0 years; 35.9% were children under 15 and 2.9% were 65 or older. 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.
