Seychelles Population Pyramid 2055
Year
2055Seychelles in 2055
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of the Seychelles at 140,388 in 2055. Ten years before, in 2045, the projected population is still 142,524 — a ten-year decline of 1.5%.
With a projected median age of 43.7 years, the Seychelles would have a youth dependency ratio of 26.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 35.1 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.
