Seychelles Population Pyramid 2040
Year
2040Seychelles in 2040
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of the Seychelles at 142,544 in 2040. Ten years before, in 2030, the projected population is 140,400 — 1.5% lower.
With a projected median age of 41.4 years, the Seychelles would have a youth dependency ratio of 25.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 21.0 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.
