Qatar Population Pyramid 2029
Qatar in 2029
By 2029, the population of Qatar is expected to reach 3,299,084. Ten years before, in 2019, the projected population is 2,797,921 — 17.9% lower.
With a projected median age of 34.1 years, Qatar would have a youth dependency ratio of 18.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 2.1 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
