Rwanda Population Pyramid 2055
Rwanda in 2055
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Rwanda at 24,159,451 in 2055. Compared with 2045, when the projection stands at 21,152,658, that represents growth of 14.2% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 28.1 years, Rwanda would have a youth dependency ratio of 42.7 and an old-age dependency ratio of 11.1 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
