2046Southern Asia in 2046
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Southern Asia at 2,458,194,729 in 2046. That would be 6.7% more than in 2036 (2,304,291,436).
With a projected median age of 35.6 years, Southern Asia would have a youth dependency ratio of 30.8 and an old-age dependency ratio of 17.7 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.
