Southern Asia in 2100

United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Southern Asia at 2,489,357,114 in 2100. That would be 2.9% less than in 2090 (2,563,368,350).

With a projected median age of 45.9 years, Southern Asia would have a youth dependency ratio of 26.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 46.0 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.
