Southern Asia in 2082

In 2082, Southern Asia is projected to have a population of 2,606,878,287 people. Ten years before, in 2072, the projected population is still 2,629,122,194 — a ten-year decline of 0.8%.

With a projected median age of 43.7 years, Southern Asia would have a youth dependency ratio of 27.0 and an old-age dependency ratio of 39.5 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
