Qatar Population Pyramid 2007
Qatar in 2007
The population of Qatar in 2007 was 1,208,595. A decade earlier, in 1997, the population was 550,500; it has grown by 119.5% since.
Half of the population was younger than 30.1 years; 16.4% were children under 15 and 1.1% were 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
