Rwanda Population Pyramid 2065
Rwanda in 2065
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Rwanda at 26,933,366 in 2065. Compared with 2055, when the projection stands at 24,159,451, that represents growth of 11.5% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 30.6 years, Rwanda would have a youth dependency ratio of 37.8 and an old-age dependency ratio of 13.5 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.
