Seychelles Population Pyramid 2050
Year
2050Seychelles in 2050
By 2050, the population of the Seychelles is expected to reach 141,747. Ten years before, in 2040, the projected population is still 142,544 — a ten-year decline of 0.6%.
With a projected median age of 43.5 years, the Seychelles would have a youth dependency ratio of 25.3 and an old-age dependency ratio of 29.4 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
